I could not have asked for a better host than Phyllis. She owns a very beautiful house in a good neighborhood. The place is well connected to public transportations and also has restaurants, grocery and convenient stores at walking distances. The house is well maintained and Phyllis personally makes sure every aspect of your stay is perfect. She also is a well read lady with a lot of knowledge and experience about travel, history and life in general. I have had long endless conversations with her very often and was glad to get a lot of valuable advice from her. She is a very caring person and was always ready to help me know more about how to make the best of my stay in SF. She also is an excellent cook. My stay was very comfortable. It has barely been a week since I returned back from SF and I am already missing Phyllis and her beautiful home.
