I couldn't have asked for a better host than Jessica. She was communicative prior to arrival, provided a smooth and friendly check-in and looked after me really well during my stay. She has some really great advice on the local area and wider San Francisco.

The house is absolutely lovely - the kitchen is a lovely place to have a nice breakfast with other guests or to cook up a nice dinner. Plenty of fridge and shelf space for your goodies too.

The room itself was lovely - bright and airy in the morning and lovely and peaceful in the evening with a VERY comfortable bed. I found myself becoming rapidly very attached to the two cats who are just so friendly.

The area is amazing. "the heart of the mission" is a very good description - the house is walking distance from the charm of Velencia, a short stroll from the bright lights of the Castro and a quick bus ride from the spark of the Haight. For visits to downtown and the rest of the city, a quick walk to mission and 16th MUNI is all you need.

When I left Jessica's house I felt the same melancholy as when moving out of a house I've lived in for years. The place felt instantly like home and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
