I arrived around 6pm for check-in (by choice). Kurt was very warm & welcoming, he gave me a brief tour of the house. He even showed me how to make espresso. Sam, the cat is very talkative & sweet. I love animals & I enjoyed Sam's company in the morning on the patio. My stay was very brief, I didn't spend much time here but I was quite comfortable & slept very well. Place is very eclectic & tidy, I would definitely stay again. The location was perfect for me because I hung out in the Castro area the entire trip which is a short cab ride away. Parking anywhere in SF is brutal. I found a spot at my friends hotel & shuffled myself back & forth by cab to Kurts place. I didn't pay attention to parking space here, but if you find one keep it & cherish it. Lol.
One annoying thing-As I was preparing to check out & catch an Uber, a woman came to the door. It was Kurt's next guest that showed up unannounced at 11am. Check in is at 3pm by appt & I advise you follow that guideline. Of course I felt bad because Kurt wasn't home & my cab had arrived, I told the woman I couldn't let her inside. It was just bizarre & my cab driver was pissed after waiting for this stranger to use my cell phone, cab almost left me there. This is a private home/BNB, this isn't a hotel establishment with a 24hr clerk....understand you need to set up a check in time or you might just get stuck outside with nobody available.
