bedpeace Posted July 11, 2013 Report Posted July 11, 2013 Planning last minute trip to SF for my anniversary. Dinner in Mission, so ideally within a reasonable distance. Would like at least 4*, ideally SOMA, then USW Nob Hill, then FiDi or USE as last resorts. Hoping to find something under $200.Can someone help with a bidding strategy? I plan on bidding the day before 7/19. Worse comes to worst, I'm okay with paying retail, otherwise I live in the bay area and can drive home without too much trouble.
