Staying with Beth and her family was my first experience with airbnb and it was a delightful one. I was welcomed by this gracious family in their sunny, quiet and comfortable home, The neighborhood is quiet yet just blocks away from a great market, numerous coffee shops and BART; all this and no extra parking fees. As my daughter is a student at the University of San Francisco I will be visiting the area many times over the next several years. With this experience as my reference point, it is likely I will never stay in a hotel in the City again.
