The hosts were incredibly welcoming and allowed us to drop off our bags early - even though formal check in wasn't for a few hours. They left a welcome letter for us with all of the info that we would need (wifi, rules about the furniture (don't worry, there aren't many), etc). The location is excellent if you are wanting to be right near either Mission or Castro. Although we did not attempt to walk to Mission or Castro from the house, it was a quick, easy Uber ride. The neighborhood is safe, residential and parking was never an issue. I would definitely recommend this house to other guests!
