Ponge wasn't going to be around when I was arriving and he made sure to have someone else available to let me in and show me around. I was made to feel most welcome and immediately explored the main drag just around the corner which has lots of great places to eat and cafes. Martha and Bros Coffee co. was a Godsend as they opened at 5am. Being up early every morning I wandered around the corner for coffee and a small morning burrito. The cafe has a great vibe to get you off to a good start! I could jump on the 24 Bus to go down the hill to find another Bus to the city or walk to the Muni. The Muni is far nicer than any Bus! Ponge is vey cool guy and an easygoing host who takes pride in the way he offers the airbnb experience to his guests.
