This was my first time doing Airb&b (and visiting USA alone) and honestly I had no idea what to expect. I stayed for a lot longer than 4 days but with complications my end we privately and easily sorted it out. I actually ended up staying just over 2 weeks.
Gil and Mari both made me feel welcome and even invited me next door to have food with their lovely neighbour in the first few days. I had many conversations with Mari who made me laugh and she took great pleasure in watching my face turn green when they would cook fish (something I don't like lol!) But ask her to make you strawberry and banana bread...delicious!
They live in a very safe home (very hilly so be prepared to hike if ya wanna walk around!) although an uber taxi only cost $8-$15 dollars if you wanted to head to Castro. Or take a lovely walk through the mission. Mari even convinced/helped give me advice on getting to LA (which I'm so glad I did also!)
Thanks so much to both of you - and also giving me the experience of living "part time" in San Francisco - come visit me next time xxx
