I did not get to meet Massimo, for he was out of town, but his wife Mary welcomed us and was great! She showed us around, pointed us to the best Thai restaurant ever and was very helpfull. We could park our car inside, which is a great help in San Francisco. Buslines are around the corner which take you to the city center directly. The Golden Gate Park is a short stroll away, the GG Bridge a nice walk. The appartment was clean and tidy and we could use the magnificent garden behind the house.
