I happened to be in town for a last-minute work trip during the same week as Dreamforce (conference hosted by Salesforce), so nightly hotel rates were $900+. No, thank you to that, and the friends I usually stay with were out of town.
That's where Mohan came to save the day. This was his first time hosting, but based on his hospitality, communication, and maintenance of the place, I would have thought that he's a Superhost.
His place is a short walk to the Lake Merritt BART Station, and from there it's a 17-minute ride to Civic Center station in SF. I would have liked more time to explore the area, though that will have to wait for another time. It seems promising.
I would stay at Mohan's place again during future trips.
