We stayed for three nights (June 21-23) at Geoff and Craig's apartment on Castro street in San Francisco. The room we stayed in has a full bed and a sofa bed, which is adequate for us, a family of three with a 13-year-old daughter. The room apparently belongs to a young girl and it is not big enough to accommodate a full bed and a queen-sized sofa bed. So we found it quite cramped for comfort. It was hard moving around in the room and there was little space for our luggage. The room would be more suitable for two persons.

One day before we arrived, we received an email informing us that we could not check in until at least 6pm, which was quite upsetting. After spending more than 10 hours traveling from Boston to the apartment, we expected to be able to check in and have a little rest. Upon arrival at around 3pm, we met a male house cleaner who told us to leave while he cleaned the place. We almost have to beg to hang around in the living room until he finished cleaning. He did a pretty quick job cleaning up the place, leaving only partial roles of toilet paper in the shared restrooms.

Except for our bed room, other rooms in the house were great -- a full kitchen and a comfortable living room.

The location of the apartment was fantastic. We found the Castro neighborhood very lively and interesting. And it was pretty close to places of interest to us. Transportation was no problem.
