Diana was a great hostess and the room/location fit my needs really well. The Marina area is a great place to stay; lots of sights, activities, restaurants, bars, and retail are close by, but the place is nice and quiet. And it's easy to get an Uber or Lyft to wherever you need to go - highly recommend ride-pooling, it's a great way to meet people in SF.

Throughout my visit, Diana took care of the details that make a stay great. Up to the time I arrived, she communicated really well about check-in. At check-in, she'd stocked the fridge with water and orange juice, left me some fresh fruit. The wifi was great, the room and garden were completely comfortable.

Bring shampoo along. That's not provided. And if you absolutely need coffee in the morning, bring some along or grab some; there's some provided, but it's a modest amount. There are lots of local coffee shops if you aren't a caffeine addict.

Also be sure you aren't planning on having any guests; that wasn't an issue for me, but it isn't allowed.

A final note to anyone new to San Francisco - "cold" means something different to locals, from what I can tell. Bring a light sweater or fleece you can take on and off; while the climate is incredible, it can get a bit cold at times (lots of micro-climates in and around the city).
