We had a great time in San Fran for my daughters birthday. Emily's place was perfect for our family vacation for 3 people. The location is great and walking distance to pier 39, fisherman's wharf, cable cars and the famous Lombard street winding road. We were able to walk to Union Square (we like walking and that was about 30 mins). Emily's place is close and walking distance to a lot of great restaurants. We enjoyed North Beach Sushi and Casava for our special bday night out. We were also close to a Trader Joes and Safeway for grocery shopping when we wanted to eat in. Emily's place has a great kitchen and is stalked with everything you need to enjoy cooking at home. The place looks like it's been through a renovation and is very comfortable. Emily is a responsive host that is always available if you have any questions. If you are looking for a place away from home that is comfortable, close to everything and you don't want to stay in a hotel, this is the place!
