Great value place off the main strip in Castro. Very steep hill to walk up, if you aren't taking cabs, so be ready! The place is right next to Buena Vista park, which has good city views and it is easy to get to Haight Ashbury as well. Max was very prompt to reply to questions, and gave us some tips for getting around... along with a complimentary bottle of wine to welcome us! This was my first experience with AirBnB and it turned out to be a good one.
