My stay with Nancy was absolutely amazing! I visited SF for a busy two week veterinary externship and was looking for a comfortable and centrally located home to rest my head. The room and bed were incredibly comfortable, with a thick, soft, and clean down blanket. I loved the free coffee, tea, chocolates, and WASHER/DRYER! The house was one block from Mission St. and a 5 minute walk from a Bart station. Many MUNI buses stop very often about a block away. Public transit from Nancy's place is a breeze.
Contacting Nancy/getting into the apartment was easy and quick. She is a warm and caring woman who truly helped me feel at home. I was even visiting during Chinese New Year's and she and her mother offered me delicious homemade dinner. Nancy was very interested in getting to know her guests! I absolutely loved chatting with her. There are two other rooms in the home that are available for rent, so if you are someone who likes to take a long time in the bathroom, keep in mind that her place only has one bathroom! This was never an issue for me.
The location is on the edge of the Mission, which is full of abundant culture and excitement. Amazing low cost food and drinks. Movie theaters galore. Gentrification is in full swing in this neighborhood, however, so expect to see those changes reflected in the restaurant/bar/coffee shop options.
I cannot recommend Nancy's place enough!! I had a fantastic stay and would stay with her again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Nancy!
