We just had our first two accomodation experiences through airbnb. One in NYC, the other in SF - both positive. Joe's loft on Russian Hill, and the view from the front door step, have to be seen to be believed. As well as the care package of goodies on the kitchen bench (and in the refrigerator), Joe went out of his way to assist with some logistics issues at the start and end of our stay, way above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you, Joe.
