We had the BEST time in San Fran! Staying at Michael's place was our first experience with Airbnb, and based on our experience, we would use it again and again. More importantly, if we ever return to San Francisco we would first check to see if Michael's place was available. It is in the perfect location- a couple blocks from the water, shops, and restaurants and a short walk to the bridge and Fort Mason. His place was great, newly renovated with a beautiful back porch.
We never met Michael in person, but he spent 35 minutes on the phone with us before our trip giving us recommendations, sent us a detailed email about the house and the city and, despite being away during the week we were there, was extremely responsive when we had questions.
Staying here really made us feel like we were living in the city as guests and not just visiting as tourists. We will definitely be back!
