I absolutely loved my stay with Cecilia. I arrived in the later evening, but that was not a problem at all (for any Europeans out there, do NOT attempt to walk from the BART station ;) ). The room is absolutely lovely, and Cecilia even provided breakfast for me and catered to my special dietary needs (lactose intolerance)--amazing! The assortment of tea and the coffee machine made me personally VERY happy! :)

The area in which the house is located is very nice and quiet, and people are very friendly. It's hilly though (it's SF after all!), so don't attempt to walk heavy luggage around (like I did--silly European). The bus 67 goes straight from the BART (24th/Mission) and stops very close to the house (~15 minute ride and a 3 minute walk). It goes around a lot of bends and up and down, so if you get motion sick easily, you may want to sit in the front of this small bus.

Unfortunately, I was off at a conference downtown almost all day every day, so I didn't have much time to chat and socialize with Cecilia, but the interactions we had were really lovely, as were my interactions with her lovely daughter and Tata the cute little cat.

I cannot recommend Cecilia's room enough! If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city center in the evenings and stay with a really lovely family, this is perfect.
