I never met Maria Jose as our schedules just didn't match up, but she provided thorough details about her home and how to come and go via email/text/the posting. Everything was exactly as described. If you're looking for a comfortable place to stay in the area, you probably can't beat this place. Nice, clean room with easy access to things you'll want to see as a tourist in San Francisco. The other guests kept to themselves. If you're looking for something social, you might look elsewhere (unless it was just my timing). Read the listing thoroughly. It's exactly as described.
