Kathy is a very hospitable, kind, and helpful host. She definitely made every effort to make sure we were as comfortable as possible in her home. She offered us coffee or tea and yogurt each morning and night. She also gave us lots of recommendations on what to see and do in San Francisco. The area her house is in is a safe area and is very close to the 16th Ave tiled steps. The area is ~30-45 minutes from main attractions, and about an hour away from Union Square by bus. There is a bus stop that is a very short walk away from her home. However if you take ride shares it’s less time to get to these places. This is the ideal place to stay for someone who would be out and about exploring for most of the day.
