I absolutely loved staying with Monica. She has been in SF since the '60s and was able to provide me with information and resources to truly live like a local. Her apartment is very central to the city and allows easy access to anything you might want to see. An ideal place to sleep and shower while on vacation, while otherwise enjoying SF. She is very personable and was accessible in person or over the phone every hour of the day. Visiting felt more like staying with an aunt than a random person's place, given her warm and sociable personality. Would definitely recommend Monica as a host to anyone traveling to The Bay and only have the warmest regards for this woman :)
