The host is very helpful. Just for him I would give 5 stars to the experience. I feel bad that I came in a business trip, as if it was a personal trip, this is the type of house that I would love to stay. There were plenty of things provided by the host so that I could cook and eat at home. There were spare bedsheets and towels and so I could stay even after extending my trip without any hassles.

If I were to nitpick, there would only be two minor items that were not mentioned in the earlier reviews and came as a surprise. The house is below the ground floor and so the entrance may be a bit difficult for claustrophobic people. But you can enter via the garage and that won't be an issue. The other issue is that the bathroom may be a bit tight if you are a huge guy over 6 feet. But these are minor annoyances and would not stop me from choosing this as the first location if I ever come back to SFO. Choose a good cellphone provider as some providers faced problem with signal strength in some areas of the house.
