Staying with Shawna was wonderful. She was a fantastic host. Her place in Mission is located just a couple blocks away from a BART station and also several bus routes. I love that she would send us ideas for activities to do in the area near the places we said we'd be exploring. Thanks to her helpful suggestions we saw places like the Sutro Baths and Crissy Field Beach that we would have never known about. Shawna's place was clean and nicely decorated, and we had plenty of space in our room. She has a dog and 2 cats, but it was Whisky (the black and white cat from the picture) that befriended us and loved sleeping in our room. Shawna was even nice enough to share a lovely breakfast with us on our final morning. I would say the only downsides were sharing a full size bed for a week and I think the microwave was broken.
