Myself and my daughter had a great time staying at Ingrid’s for a week. She arranged to meet us at the airport and guided us thoroughly and without fuss about keys and the neighbourhood when we arrived. She was extremely hospitable and friendly during our stay and it was always a pleasure to bump into her through the week. We enjoyed the very spacious and carefully furnished room, the light as well as the lighting, the enormous and comfortable bed and the quiet at night. The central heating system was very responsive the few times we needed it. The accommodation is quite separate from the rest of the house and felt like a private apartment rather than a private room. We didn’t hang out there during the day or much in the evenings as our days were fairly full but it was our one regret that we didn’t manage to spend a few evenings in the room as it was such a calm and relaxing environment. The Mission / Castro area is easy to navigate and travel to and from and although described as a little edgy, we felt completely safe and secure returning late at night. Ingrid’s recommendations for local cafes and restaurants were all wonderful. We ate at Flour and Water, Central Local and enjoyed a Mexican food takeaway from Jalisco in front of the gigantic TV!
Finally, as our departing flight was an evening one we were very appreciate to be able to leave our bags with Ingrid on our last day. It is worth noting that the airport is a convenient run from 20th Street. We would stay again in the same area and with Ingrid. We always felt she was ready in the background to help us in any way she could.
