Beth and Don were excellent hosts. Extremely accommodating and helpful. I personally didn't get to spend too much time with Beth (though she was super nice when we did talk), but Don was really interesting to talk to. Both of them were extremely accommodating and welcoming, sharing their entire house with me and making sure that I was comfortable. Thank you so much, both of you! They have two adorable dogs there as well.

The space is a cozy little bedroom in their house. The bathroom is pretty fancy. The location is a quiet spot on a hill, in a sleepy suburb of San Francisco. The location is extremely convenient because of the BART station two blocks away as well as its proximity to the downtown area (20 minutes). The suburb itself is not really very interesting, though peaceful.

In the bay area, I loved the Mission, Big Sur, Lori's Diner (50's style diner with a sweetheart of a waitress) and to the most extent the Golden Gate Bridge / Marin Highlands / Sausalito (the view is fabulous but crowded on a good day). Didn't get to do Golden Gate Park or De Young Museum however (on my wishlist).

Overall, an amazing trip and a highly recommended home away from home to stay in. :)
