First off, Brenda lives in the heart of SF in the Castro. Her house is so superbly located for anyone wanting an authentic experience of San Francisco. Brenda keeps an immaculate, beautifully decorated home, and has two pets, a dog and a cat, who are well-behaved and neatly groomed. Her price is an excellent value considering the location and comfort of the house. I did not stay long, but I was able to find parking consistently, which made me very happy too. As for Brenda, she and I have a fair amount in common, so we got along fabulously. I don't feel like I had a host, I felt like I met a friend.
