Thank you so much to Beth and Kristina -
I had a truly enjoyable stay in your home. I appreciated your hospitality, your flexibility with my check in time and all the little touches. I loved your decor and the twin bed and down comforters were so comfy! The antique writing desk in my room was stocked with local travel guides, a refillable corked water bottle (excellent filtered water from the accessory tap in the kitchen), a glass and coasters, fresh fruit and travel snacks.
Tho the bathroom was technically shared I never had to wait to use it and the shower/tub/warm water pressure were divine. Kristina, the only person living on the main level where the room is located was quiet, pleasant and helpful the few times our paths crossed. The fuzzy house ambassadors Misha and Oochie (elder dogs) were very sweet, friendly, and well behaved. Do bear in mind,if you are particularly sensitive to various smells, or have pet sensitivities, a pet free host might suit you better.
Glen Park is an established neighborhood with a nice variety of restaurants, coffee shops and a nice little market - with very little of the bustle and overwhelm of the rest of the city. Transportation to and from the airport and all of my SF destinations was easy and accessible. The BART station really is just a 4 minute walk away and returning in the evenings via the 44 MUNI line drops you off right at the bottom of the hill, moments (and a flight+ of steps) from the front door. (I loaded a clipper card with a 3 day visitor pass for $29 (good on all of muni - but not BART) and $25 open balance for the trips to and from the airport - Less than $60 and a willingness to walk for short trips covered my transportation for the 4 days in town.
I would definitely recommend these hosts and this location - it was a wonderful, quiet comfortable place to come home to after busy days.
