For some reason every time I live in Excelsior I make good friends :-) Julian is a great host, very friendly and helpful. The room/house is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is very nicely decorated, cozy and has a nice view. I also liked the location: I've lived in the area for a while: It is residential, quiet and not as expensive as other SF areas. There is super-easy access to the freeway, buses and BART (Glen Park). Also, the Mission and Noe Valley are less than 10min away by car. Overall, a very pleasant and trouble-free stay, recommended!
