Lisa's place was great. Beautifully kitted out and equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Lisa was a great host and extremely helpful. She had prepared a wonderful booklet with tons of info on the area and San Fran in general.

Bernal Heights is a really cool spot and Cortland street is filled with lovely, laid-back restaurants and bars in which the food is delicious and the staff are charming (in particular Vega and Liberty Cafe). I suppose the only down-side is that it's a little bit removed from downtown. However, we found that taking the bus along Cortland and getting on the J took us into the heart of the action in a little over a half hour, and it's an interesting journey.

All in all, a great stay with wonderful hosts.
