Matthew is so knowledgeable about the San Fransisco area - and well beyond the usual "tourist" stuff. He is keen that you enjoy everything that SF has to offer and can provide personal details on many local "must sees" - "must dos" - like the Java Cafe for super coffee and treats, to the fabulous beach area just a short walk from his place. As an avid outdoors lover he surfs, kite boards and bikes etc. etc. He can certainly answer any questions in that regard. If you have time take him up on the bike rentals he has and head over the Golden Gate Bridge. I believe his neighborhood is the Outer Beach, and like any wonderful area it has cafes, groceries (some of the best in the city), a super bakery, bars - you name. We picked the location for the ocean - wow, lovely spot for a morning walk or run, there's the Cliff House for a breakfast with "breakers" and a lookout of amazing vistas. A true California coastal experience!
