George was very welcoming! I didn't see him the day I checked in, but he sent good instructions via text messages and I was welcomed by a nice note (full of recommendations for the area) and a cute cat. When we did briefly meet on my second day, George was very friendly and shared his insight about the city and neighborhood in general. The room is nice and spacious with windows, and there's a great view from his balcony. The room is in a very safe part of town, and just a couple blocks' walk to very fun stretches of the Castro and the Mission.
