Virginia was a great hostess. She met us at the front door as we had discussed. She showed us around the place and gave us tips on how to get around the city. Virginia and Rick had graciously stocked the kitchen with items for breakfast like, milk, OJ, eggs, cereal, coffee and fruit. The couple lives below you which wasn't an issue as we never saw them again after the first day. (Oh yeah, we did see Rick for a second as he helped us unlock the door the first night). The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The neighborhood itself felt very safe. We would go out late at night and felt very comfortable. Great location which was very close to Little Italy, Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. Great views of Alcatraz and the Wharf. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again.
