Brenda was a lovely host and her apartment in the Castro district was very impressive. Lots of light and color and surprisingly spacious. Brenda made me feel right at home and even provided a list of things to do nearby. It truly is conveniently located. I walked to several different restaurants nearby and public transportation was just around the corner. You can stop by the Bi-Rite Creamery for freshly made ice cream and then find a spot on the hill of the Dolores Park to enjoy. I would definitely stay with Brenda and her sweet dog and kitty again on my next visit to the city.
