In short: wow!... I have stayed at many places in San Francisco Bay Area, and I can comfortably say that Julian's place really stands out! Julian genuinely enjoys having people in his home. There are minimal rules and plenty of freedom to do one's own thing, but I suggest finding the time to connect with Julian, as he is wonderful and can share exciting stories and amazing ideas and inspiration. Julian is an artist (among many other things) and this home is his work of art. Every room has a theme and all details are handcrafted with much love and attention. Aesthetics and functionality cohabitate here in perfect harmony. The street feels safe and is very quiet at night. Although the location is not exactly downtown, the public transport is nearby and it runs frequently, so everything is very accessible. I would mention more reasons why I recommend this home, but this review is getting long... Ah, and did I mention that Julian is awesome? :-)
