Neighborhood overview: I LOVE my neighborhood. First of all, Alamo Square Park is just a block+ away. It is a very historic park and most of you will recognize it for the views surrounding it. It is a beautiful place to hang out and look at the scenery and includes a popular dog park. The houses in my neighborhood are so interesting. Many were built before the big earthquake and are lovely Victorians. Since then, many other interesting homes of later origin were built. Divisadero, one of the earliest routes of the Spanish, is now an 'entertainment corridor' according to neighborhood planners. It is certainly a destination place for young people and affords all of us plenty of grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, clubs, cleaners, et al....most of what you need to keep supplied and entertained.

About the host: I have been a happy resident of San Francisco since 1994, living right here on McAllister St where I arrived after a former life-time married to a fine man, raising a family of three sons.
I came for a visit and decided to stay......San Francisco does that to you.  I spent my early years here touring the city on inline skates, yes, hills and flat....great adventures, great friends, did the Friday Night Skate for years.   My work and rental property take my time and the fact that I now have 5 dear grandchildren living around the country means I travel rather often.  Now I walk everywhere with Muni as a backup.  SF is a great place to walk, you are never at a loss to find interesting places, beautiful buildings and lovely parks, beaches, trails, whatever your heart desires.  Good way to keep healthy, too, with yoga and gardening added for balance.  I have been renting rooms in my place since 1997 when I was able to purchase it.  I have had hundreds of people stay since then, many from other countries.  I have furnished rooms and cater to students, interns, people new to the city, beginning jobs.....a good place to get a start and figure out where you want to stay more permanently.  I try to make it a home away from home for them.  For me it is like having a large, ever changing family.
Because of the changing politics throughout the world, much of which is troubling,  as angry people take over governments and spread upset and anger about, I think it is valuable to have platforms such as Airbnb bringing people together from everywhere.  The chance to meet, talk, share a meal, converse with a group of people from different countries has to be good for our world.  I have a large map of the world in the living room and each guest puts a pin in the country from which they come.  It is thrilling to see the map fill and know that we have had good times with friends from all of those places!
