Brad's place is spotless, quiet and welcoming and a great joice to to stay for a few days. A bus stop is right around the corner (line 24 to the Castro and Upper Haight) and it's an easy walk to a streetcar-stop (J-line) from where you can ride to the Mission district, downtown or the Embarcadero. So, a car isn't necessary at all. Communication with our host was quick and uncomplicated, and Brad let us even check in earlier and check out later to accommodate our travel plans. Two thumbs up!
