To say it right upfront. Staying in this private studio in Esther's and her family's house has been a total unique and outstanding experience. Esther is a fully committed, virtually professional host, an open hearted and just lovely person. Arriving at the studio, I was welcomed like a friend. Esther had already prepared everything just perfectly. The studio was totally clean, equipped and decorated with both taste and dedication to the detail. This included fresh water and milk in the fridge, fruits and super high quality chocolate chip cookies. Esther took quite some of her time to introduce me to the studio, the neighborhood and the the typical questions from what to see and where to eat in San Francisco. She did all that with so much kindness, friendliness and passion. I can only recommend this lovely place and especially Esther as an extraordinary host when visiting San Francisco. The location and neighborhood is nice and quiet. It's only a 8min. walk to the beach. Parking is free and space is always available. All interesting places within San Francisco are easily accessible both by public transportation or car. And even if I didn't make use of it. Esther and her husband Kevin invited me to approach them at any time with possible questions or need for support with anything during my stay. If I will ever come back to San Francisco (I definitely will!), I'll make sure to stay with Esther and her family again.
