Just returned from an 11-day stay at George's fab appartment in the Castro and enjoyed every minute. I couldn't have picked a better host, room and area for my very first airbnb experience (and also my first time in San Francisco). The comments from the other guests are all spot on: George is a really nice guy, very helpful, has many suggestions as regards things to do and places to have coffee or something to eat etc. The location of the beautiful house is perfect, the view from the balcony is astonishing, George's cat Kuma is super cute. My personal highlights in the area: coffee at Philz (18th St and Noe), burgers at Super Duper, drinks at Café Flore (both on Market), watching the world go by in Mission Dolores Park (3 minute walk). The muni F line is only a 5 minute walk away and operates vintage streetcars (Market and 17th Street), the (much faster) metro has a stop on the same corner, in addition, muni buses go north and south from there as well (to the Haight, Golden Gate Park, Presidio, Ocean Beach etc.). The next BART stop to the airport is a 15-minute walk away (on Mission and 16th Street). I'll definitely try to book the room in George's appartment the next time I'll be in town. Thanks so much for everything, George!
