Our host - Gaylene - is a charming, warm and caring person. She couldn't have been more helpful and gracious. If you are reading this review you are probably thinking - Wow what a view! And it is - you won't be disappointed. This home away from home is every bit as cozy and warm as the pictures suggest.
If you like to see a city from the perspective of the locals and not just be shown the sites this will be a terrific visit for you - you'll have the thrill of climbing a San Francisco hill to your abode ( this is a bona fide hill - wear your walking shoes) You will catch all of the local urban flavor within walking distance - you can have soul food at Auntie' April's, or fabulous food prepared by an Ethiopian chef at Radio Africa and Kitchen. Or take in the delights of Old Skool Cafe - a restaurant featured on CNN - do the research yourself on this gem - just too special a place to write up here. Take a quick bus ride to The farmers market and see produce the way you wish you could see it at your local supermarket- all of it thrilling - the smells, the sights, the sounds. It's an easy ride into the heart of San Francisco on the T line light rail and it will take you right by the baseball stadium if that is your thing or even right to the Ferry building for treats and people watching.
If urban is your thing - go for it. You will have an adventure!
