Alison's apartment was perfect for my boyfriend and myself. I was traveling for a work conference and decided to stay an extra week for vacation and I'm so happy I decided to stay at Alison's. During my work conference I was staying in a hotel downtown and I can honestly say I much preferred staying in Noe Valley. It's situated right next to the J train and it was easy to get around town. There are plenty of great cafe's around and wonderful restaurants. We went for breakfast twice at the cafe literally steps away on Church and for supper one of my favourite spots was beretta's which was a 15 minute walk away. I highly recommend staying here! Next time I come back to San Francisco I'll be booking with Alison again!
