We highly recommend staying with Catherine and Micki if you'll be in the bay area. Communication was great, and they were very flexible with check in. Their binder full of recommendations was very useful, and the places we visited from their list were all spot on. The room is very cozy and neat, as is the rest of the apartment. It has everything you need for a vacation. San Fran is pretty large and the attractions can be a bit spread out, but you can't do much better than the location here. It was a perfect midpoint between the friends we were visiting for our trip, and there are many great places within walking distance.
