Staying with George was a 100% great experience: 1) He responded quickly to my request and gave me clear instructions on how to get to his place. 2) The apartment and room is amazing - quiet and with stunning views of downtown from his balcony. 3) The neighborhood is as good at it gets in SF - with walking distance to all the great shops, bars, restaurants and public transportation in Castro, Mission and Noe Valley. 4) George is the perfect host and a very kind and helpful person. He gave me both a personal tour of the city and free access to his fridge. At the same time you are very welcome to mind your own business, if that is what you want. Really, if you are going to SF and see any open dates for this place then go and book them RIGHT NOW.
