Samantha made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The apt. was very clean and well equipped. She even had some wine and cheese for us to enjoy. The patio was wonderful and it was very quiet, which is nice in the city. The only negative thing I could say is the queen bed was very soft and the two futons were very hard! She even had my favorite coffee, Peets. We enjoyed visiting Dolores park which was a few blocks away and had dinner @ a great Indian restaurant on Valencia. There were lots of places to go within walking distance.
