We very much enjoyed our stay in Bernat's place. His flat is located on a quiet residential block and is near several interesting restaurants both in Portrero and Mission. It was a great base for exploring those neighborhoods on foot. Getting to other parts of SF was easy from that location as well as there are several bus routes that run a few blocks or less from the flat. I purchased a Clipper card for the nearby Whole Foods that is good on most of the public transit systems in SF. Bernat provided lots of great information about the area and we found his recommendations for restaurants particularly useful. During our week stay, we ended up having most of our dinners in the local area. Being an avid bread maker, one of the highlights in the area is the Tartine Manufactory
The flat is located on the ground floor and photos provide an accurate picture of what to expect. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom nicely done, containing a huge shower. The overhead shower was a nice feature as well. The kitchen had everything we needed. The combination microwave/oven was perfect for heating up leftovers. Although we did not use it, the two burner induction hot plate in the kitchen cabinet and the good quality pots and pans would have come in handy for cooking.
Bernat was an excellent host. For example, we had a problem with the cable TV connection, and though I told him it was not a big deal for us, he quickly fixed it. While talking about the restaurants on his list, Bernat was kind enough to offer tips on his favorite dishes.
Clearly we would not hesitate to book a reservation with him next time we stay in the area.
