Lily is a great host - very responsive and flexible. The location is terrific, with BART a block away and MUNI buses even closer. You can walk to just about anything you might desire, including restaurants, movies, shopping, or just people-watching. We lived in San Francisco for many years - at one point just two blocks from Lily's place - and it was great to have our favorite taqueria around the corner and locally made chocolate nearby. SF also has a fantastic cafe culture, which we were happy to dive into again. One caution: The apartment's heating system is classic San Francisco, with one heater in the hallway the only source of heat. The Mission district is one of the warmest neighborhoods in SF, but the apartment can still be quite chilly. Bring a sweatshirt and some fuzzy socks!
