Ben was an excellent host and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to stay in San Francisco generally and Cole Valley specifically.
His apartment is in one of the best locations in the city and is a delight to be in - it is clean, well-lit, and quiet. On this trip, my parents were staying with him and they loved the place.
Ben was incredibly communicative, thoughtful with planning and preparation, and full of recommendations for those unfamiliar to the neighborhood.
I would absolutely recommend!!
