Martha's place was awesome and she couldn't have been a better host. I feel like I have made a friend for life and to be honest I'm quite an independent traveller who tends to keep myself to myself, so the fact that I felt so utterly relaxed, welcomed, comfortable and happy in her company and her home speaks absolute volumes. The location is really great - it is nice to be a little way from the bustle and crazy of central downtown, yet be only a $10 Uber ride from the absolute thick of it all. That said, there is a fantastic craft beer/wine/empanada bar just 5mins (max) walk around the corner (which Martha took me to when I arrived in the evening to get to know each other over a couple of beers), as well as really nice restaurants, coffee places and convenience stores if required, as well as the muni streetcar that takes you into central downtown as well. Martha's place is steps from the beach so it's also great for the ocean - walking, surfing etc. The neighbourhood felt safe, cool and fun. My room was lovely. Martha's decor is totally cool. The bed was comfy and I slept well all four nights I was there. The ensuite was perfect and I had everything I needed to feel happy and at home for my stop at San Fran whilst touring round the US. Martha also made sure I had fresh coffee waiting for me every morning! Even on the morning I had to leave very early to catch my flight. Martha, I can't thank you enough for your hospitality and I hope to see you again soon! I totally recommend Martha and her lovely home!
