We loved Heather's apartment! It was clean, well decorated, and exactly as described. The surrounding area felt very safe and had lots of cafes and restaurants (I stopped at Java Beach Cafe several times!). It is not close to many tourist attractions that you might want to visit but the MUNI is cheap and easy to use, even if you are not a regular public transit user. We did rent a car for two days to go to Muir Woods and to be able to go to areas not as easily reached by public transit. Parking was very easy to find in the neighborhood. Heather was a great host. She was there for us if we needed anything but not at all intrusive We would stay again!
