I stayed for almost two weeks as I was visiting our US office which was near Levi's plaza, just over Telegraph hill - so I had the most fantastic views walking to work each morning. Ellen's apartment was perfect. Everything worked well and I was able to cook when I wished and do my washing. Ellen made me very welcome and getting in was easy. It did rain a little and was cold outside but the appt was warm and comfortable and very clean. And the area was great - there is a supermarket within walking distance and a great range of restaurants in North Beach. I also made use of the cable car to take me to Market at the weekends.

All in all, it made staying in SF even more of a pleasure than usual and I would definitely stay there again - thank you Ellen!
