Staying here with Dan & Ellen was our first AirBNB experience, it was also our first time in San Francisco. We will forever insist that we could not have experienced a better combination of concurrent firsts. Even though Dan and Ellen were away and we had the home to ourselves they found a way to leave their excellent hospitality behind for us throughout their beautiful home. The view was a-blazing with amazing, you can sit on their 2 lovely Lazy-Boys and watch the whole day happen from there. There is this daily fog pattern and clearing that happens in San Francisco and their living room is one of the perfect places to experience it all in complete coziness. The home is on the highest "peak" in the city right next to this awesome tower that doubles as a "fog-mo-meter" throughout the day, it can be seen from anywhere in the city so if you go up the hill a bit more you will find the absolute best view in the city at Twin Peaks. Listen I can seriously and genuinely gush all day but I need to find a way to end this review which requires that at some point I figure out a way to stop telling you how awesome this place really really is and that's not an easy thing to do. Here goes my attempt though, the home is super nice and clean, very well furnished, awesome view, yard with a view and tons of street parking so bring your cars, you definitely don't have to fight for parking like everywhere else in San Fran, the main bedroom is as clean as a new hotel suite, I can really go on and on. There is an awesome massage chair which I used daily, Dan has a great music collection at your disposal, an Apple TV, cable TV, flat screen, see I can't stop... a Chemex coffee maker which before returning home from my trip I owned and became addicted to (Thanks Dan). I always say that the best way to experience a new city is to stay with friends that live there and that is exactly how it felt staying here, like we were amongst friends. They left everything we needed to figure anything out that you could want to know (look out time travel). Their lovely home is not ostentatious nor lavish but instead and arguably better it is homey, cozy and beyond comfortable. It's just a great place to experience San Francisco from and live like locals in the home of real awesome locals. We wish Dan and Ellen nothing but happiness and success, they are great people and if you can and are lucky enough to stay with them you should feel honored, I can tell you with all sincerity that we sure did. Happy Travels everyone.
