If there were more than 5 stars to give for this review I would give them to Melanie. She was a great host; very nice and helpful. The flat itself was wonderful; beautifully decorated, quiet and comfortable. The extra touches that Melanie provides, chocolates, tea, SF guides and a sparkling clean, beautifully sunny living area made my stay a real pleasure. I would recommend Melanie to anyone visiting San Francisco. The location is great as well, close to the ocean as well as two wonderful parks, and, in my opinion, the best area to experience the real San Francisco.
