Our stay at Ivan and Wendy's was the perfect San Francisco experience. Their house is right in the Mission just off Valencia Street which means it's close to heaps of fantastic restaurants and shops. It's also close to two BART stops which means you can get out and explore other parts of the city.
Their place is just gorgeous - even better than it looks in the pictures - and we felt so comfortable, both in our room and sitting out in the kitchen or lounge room while chatting to Ivan or playing with cute, quiet, friendly pup Milo. I think every guest who had written in their guest book mentioned how great the bed was - and we also couldn't get over how amazing the sheets were.
Our favourite part about staying with Ivan and Wendy was that they knew we were interested in food and music, so they had a whole set of recommendations for us when we arrived - we immediately got directions to foodie havens like Delfina, Tartine and Bi-Rite and info about the Amnesia bluegrass night across the road, then as they thought of more restaurants we would come home to notes about where else we could try - which led us to gems like Mr Pollo. We felt like they really went out of their way and were such accommodating and generous hosts.
San Francisco and its lovely people, like Ivan and Wendy, really got under our skin and we can't wait to return and explore more one day!
