We were welcomed by Brendan even with our flight arriving late in the evening. He was very hospitable and friendly and gave us a thorough explanation for how things worked in his place. His place was just as the pictures had shown; the bathroom is very large and quite nice and the bed was comfortable. He went above and beyond our expectations and even provided ice packs when my husband injured his foot during our travels. The neighborhood seems safe, very hilly and is a few blocks away from public transportation for access to downtown San Francisco. Just note that Brendan owns a dog (it's not in his description), although except during the initial welcome, his dog did not enter our space, nor was he very audible. We very much enjoyed our stay at Brendan's place and had a lovely trip to SF!
