We had a great time exploring San Francisco from Irene's Noe Valley home. The connections into the centre are excellent and very close by. Irene was a thoughtful, welcoming and informative host - her tips about what to see and where to shop/eat were first rate. Having the whole house meant it was a real home from home with Irene's presence felt but not in an intrusive way. As a sign in the house said "Mi casa es su casa" which sums our visit up. Thanks Irene.
