Gaylene was a wonderful and helpful host and we stayed in a cozy comfortable private suite. When we arrived she had already prepared the room for us and even brought us fruits, chocolate, and an extended kitchen to enjoy! Gaylene even introduced us to her two fluffy cats, Luna and Mr.Chops.

As previous reviews have said, her apartment had magnificent views of downtown San Francisco. Everything was just as we wanted it to be and we enjoyed our stay in San Francisco.

A bit of a note though: from the T Muni to the apartment, it's a bit of a climb especially for older people. Nevertheless, the short hike is very rewarding for the panoramic views once inside the apartment. The T Muni also takes around 30-45 minutes to Caltrain/Embarcadero/Powell Station so if you scheduled tours and stuff downtown, take the light rail at least an hour early.

There are bus stops nearer the apartment although we haven't tried it. I think one goes to Castro while another leads to the Golden Gate Park so public transportation around the other tourist sites should not be a problem.
