My husband and I stayed 6 nights while attending a convention downtown. It was a great alternative to staying in a huge non-personal convention center-hotel! David’s place was just as we expected; the description proved to be very accurate. The neighborhood borders Castro and Twin Peaks and is quite nice. We were able to park right in front every day. Street noise was minimal but present, as his street is on a bus route. The room and bath were very clean, well-supplied and bright. The decor is tasteful; David has a fine taste in art. Not only did we have fresh flowers all week, but I had a lovely live orchid beside my bed! The bed was softer than we are used to, has a 1” pad, and though comfortable enough, might need to be upgraded. David was attentive, communicated instantly, and is truly a nice person to meet. His recommendations for searching out some special and “secret” sites were perfect!! He obviously loves his city! David’s two beautiful cats remained upstairs in the common areas; with zyrtec I was able to keep allergies under control. The washer/dryer were easy to use and we appreciated the convenience.
When self-checking in using the electronic security keypad, be sure to pull the door towards you as it unlocks (a trick we figured out after many tries). Otherwise, everything went smoothly.
We recommend a stay with David, especially if you enjoy meeting local people while visiting a city as big and wonderful as San Francisco!
