Michelle's place is nicely appointed and clean. I'm going to miss the Japanese-style toilet! She provided a gift basket of goodies that was much appreciated. The neighborhood is near mass transit, a small shopping district, a Safeway, and a great Mediterranean restaurant called "Bursa." The area is quiet and nicely residential (but also in the foggy part of town). The one-room (plus bath) is not very large, but that's fine if you're going to be out and about a lot. It's nice that a small combo washer/dryer was provided in the kitchen area. Bring a layers of clothing for the many micro-climates of San Francisco and you'll have a very nice time.
