Myrna, our host was waiting for us on our arrival (which was early) and welcomed us when we got there. The apartment was so clean and neat and we had everything that we could possibly want. After a chat with Myrna a day later on an item or two that would make us more comfortable she obliged willingly and the items we asked for arrived. What more can we say but our host continued in this way for the entire almost 7 week stay.

The area is amazing, there is everything you could possibly want right on your doorstep from a supermarket that closes at midnight, an amazing selection of places to eat, an awesome bar that brews it's own beer and more. The walk either through the panhandle or the street (which is very safe and the houses and trees are beautiful) takes you to Golden Gate Park. This became our almost daily routine as we walked through the park and discovered new things all the time, if you are energetic you can walk to ocean beach, sutro baths and more or on the weekends there is a park shuttle.

Public transport from this location is mainly the bus service but it is prompt and frequent and I don't think I waited more than 5 or so minutes for a bus at any time and almost always got a seat.

From here you can walk almost anywhere in the city, to the park, to Haight street, Japantown, even to Presidio and over the Golden Gate Bridge if you wish.

The apartment is well appointed, has everything you could possibly need from high speed internet, local TV (with TV apps for Netflix, Amazon etc.). The beautiful bay windows let in so much light and it is so peaceful sitting there with the afternoon sun.

The rest of the apartment is fantastic, easily one of the nicest and comfiest you will ever require.

We were very sad to leave but as we are now permanent residents of the city we already had a new apartment waiting for us so we knew it would be time to leave
