Today is the second day of my terrible jet lag since we left SF, so I had plenty of time recalling my amazing trip to SF, and when I'm not trying to sleep I drive my friends crazy with my enthusiasm about the fantastic time I had there and the wonderful people I met! Brian and Florencia are the most friendly and warm people that I know and really amazing to hang out with. Luckily we had many chances to hang out with them as they are living at the same building and we were meeting them almost every morning at the beautiful garden, where we enjoyed to drink our coffee. Oh I really miss this garden! The house is so beautiful, exactly as it is pictured at the photos but more impressive when you see it live. Brian is an outstanding artist and he personally has taken care of the aesthetics and the decoration of the house. As you enter the house you will walk through Brian's studio in order to go upstairs and enter the apartment. This was the most exciting part of our stay there, as me and my friend are both artists, and watching Brian working was really inspiring. We had many conversations about art, exchange of thoughts which not only I enjoyed a lot but also helped me very much and widened my perspective. I definitely recommend it to artists, it will seem very familiar and you will instantly lose the sentiment of the stranger or the tourist. It is also very close to the Bart station (16th&Mission) which you can use to go downtown (2 stops) and very close to many bus stops which you can use to go ANYWHERE in the city. Mission is a very artistic area, full with galleries and concept stores, bars and great restaurants, make sure to eat some delicious tacos at Tacolicious, or any Mexican restaurant you want, and drink a cup of coffee at Blue Bottle which is 2min walk from the apartment!
