A cozy San Francisco family home in the vibrant, popular and colorful neighborhood, Bernal Heights, next to the Mission district.
We are at the intersection of Bernal Heights and the Mission District, walking distance to beautiful vistas, coffee houses, nightclubs, galleries, cultural centers, used bookstores, Nicaraguan and El Salvadoran taquerias, as well as bistros and Thai restaurants. 10 bus lines stop at the end of our block, which take you to every other neighborhood in the city. Our metro (BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit) s 6 blocks away. Our neighborhood is a combination of young Google and Apple employees, (Google Bus stops on our corner!) as well as Latino immigrant families, older empty nesters, many political activists. Beautiful weather.

Naomi and Colin were wonderful exchange partners. We ended up overlapping so we were able meet and get to know each other. We showed each other around a little also. Everything we lovely and there was lots of help wiht information around the area. A year later we are still messaging from time to time which tells you how we got on together. There property is a lovely lived-in home and a great location on Bus and Tram routes with supermarkets nearby. I would highly recommend them as exchange partners. You wont regret it.
Super helpful and wonderful guy, and he was filled with ideas for our stay in Dublin and in other parts of Ireland as well, great exchange experience
It was fine

We have been in San Francisco almost 40 years, raising our son here. I am a native of the Big Sur coast, just two hours south of San Francisco, and Colin is from Detroit, Michigan. We have three grandchildren and we both still are still working: Colin is self-employed as a carpenter and I work for the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco.
I worked in the USSR in my youth, as a journalist, and spent time as a child in Latin America, so I am multi-lingual.
We are very involved in the San Francisco arts and literacy scene, I volunteer with 826 Valencia, a tutuoring center for immigrant kids, and I perform at the Marsh, a storytelling space.
We walk and bike through the city and hike frequently in the extraordinary beauty of the surrounding counties, and are happy to share our deep knowledge of San Francisco art, architecture, social and political history, and our love of our city.
