Cynthia and her husband are wonderful hosts and very accommodating. I attended a conference at the Embarcadero Center and coming home to the apartment felt like home. The commute was very easy, a couple of blocks to the bus stop and then a straight ride down Sacramento to the Center. The neighborhood is lovely with many specialty shops and variety of restaurants. On my last day it was raining and my flight wasn't until late evening. Cynthia was very gracious about letting me stay in the apartment through late afternoon until my departure to the airport. I highly recommend staying at this location while in San Francisco. It is central to the rest of the city.
