Ms. Guinot's book is without comparison. If you have plans to move to the Bay Area or if you live in the Bay and are looking for a new place, her book is the must-have guide to keep by your side at all times. Her overview of information is fantastic, and she manifests her impressive knowledge of the Byzantine streets and byways of San Francisco. I highly, highly recommend her book and I eagerly look forward to her future works. I should add that she is the epitome of style and grace.

San Francisco is beautiful city which exacts a steep toll from newcomers. The absurd vacancy rate means one of two things for apartment hunters: compromise or luck. Frustration is guaranteed. Guinot's book helps in many ways. It proves to be a fruitful source of contact information for resources that meet the most common needs that newcomers have. The descriptions of the neighbourhoods is an excellent way to begin discovering the city and narrowing down the areas within which to search for an apartment. While particularly ambitious in scope, the book does not provide an in depth treatment of any one topic. Some of the specific information, especially about rents and fees, is already out of date. However, this was a book that was quite helpful; and anyone moving to the city needs as much help as they can possibly get.

This book was just what I was looking for. It is a great resource on moving and apartment seeking in San Francisco. I wish there was a little more detail about transportation and travelling outside of the Bay Area. Otherwise,a great guide. I also appreciate the web addresses. It will be most helpful.
