Germaine could not be a better host. Her apartment was very neat and was well stocked with towels, shampoo, etc. She even bought us some delicious breakfast items and some other treats as well. She has an off-street parking space available which is a big plus. We used the car in the evening and had no problem finding spaces downtown, at Fisherman's Wharf, in the Mission and elsewhere. Even if you can't find a space, parking is pretty cheap in the evening--about $10 in most places--and it was nice to have a space waiting for us when we returned to Germaine's apartment. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk to the BART which runs fairly frequently. It's only two stops to the Mission and a little farther to go downtown. There are also bus stops nearby if you need to go to a part of the city which is not serviced by BART and don't want to take a cab or a car service. The apartment is located on a hill overlooking the city and thus affords a great view.It also gets great light. It is a very large one bedroom apartment. I would highly recommend Germaine's apartment.
