Max is an excellent host. He responds quickly and kindly and made us feel very welcome, though we never met him in person. The apartment is convenient to the Castro and the Mission by foot and public transportation is nearby. We appreciated the whimsical style and were very comfortable staying there as a family of four. There’s also access to a charming backyard, where we could enjoy a glass of wine when the kids went to bed. A playground is half a block away and there’s a terrific produce stand a couple blocks away.
