George:
He was great at communicating everything before, during and the evening the before departure. He was also willing to accommodate our needs and/or situation.
Location:
Ssooooo quiet. The place is nicely tucked away with a little patio area and close enough to get to most places walking. Felt very safe throughout our stay.
The space and amenities:
The studio is fairly spacious with just about anything you could need or want during your stay. There is an electric kettle, microwave and toaster oven. Coffe and tea are available as well as dishes, gladsware, and utensils. There is also a mini fridge, however, it didn't seem to keep cold enough but did the trick. The shower head is nice and high for us taller folks and has good water pressure. I am 5'9" and did find myself waking up with my feet dangling off the end of the bed sometimes but otherwise it was comfortable. He also keeps the unit at 68 degrees, which was actually pretty perfect. The heater is in the restroom so you can close the door to keep the heat out or open it for more. There is also an extra space heater. The place also has a decent sized TV with cable tv. There are mirrors in the bathroom and a full length mirror in the kitchen, which is also near outlets if you need additional space to get ready. The bathroom also has one of those wall-mounted hair dryers; i used my own so not sure on how well it worked. The couch was also fairly comfortable; not sure if it converts to a bed or anything. The decor is old time maritime but all very classy. He also has guidebooks and/or books about San Francisco' history available. The place was also very clean.
Overall, very pleased with the location, space, amenities, the host and the price. Great value and we would certainly recommend to others and would definitely try to stay here again on our next trip to SF.
