We chose George's place for 3 reasons: location, price and privacy. We were in San Francisco to attend our daughter's graduation so were looking for a place to stay specifically in this area. Additionally, being first time AirBnB users, we were uncomfortable with the idea of "sharing" a community space with other guests or a host and wanted something a little more private. We also felt that George's place was very reasonably priced for all the amenities it offered. He was a gracious host, making sure we had access to the studio since he was not able to be there when we arrived and met us as soon as we returned from the graduation ceremony to introduce himself. He left a nice bottle of wine and some crackers on the table to welcome us as well as a personal note with all the information we needed about the place. There is a separate entrance to the studio along the side of the house so that we were able to come and go as we liked and a small enclosed patio area just outside the entrance to the studio that offered great late morning to mid afternoon sun, perfect for drinking morning coffee, eating lunch or just enjoying the warmth of the sun and being outdoors. The studio itself was clean, modern and completely self contained with all the comforts of home, including access to a washer and dryer should you need them. The neighborhood was very charming as well, it felt very safe and we enjoyed walking around discovering all it had to offer. There was a great little coffee shop and local market/deli just around the corner, a beautiful park across the street, Haight Street just a few blocks away and a bus stop right at the corner that we rode into Hayes Valley for great boutique shopping and lunch. We also found a wonderful Mexican cafe a few blocks away called Green Chile Kitchen (on Baker & McAllister) that we highly recommend trying! Parking in the neighborhood is a little tight, so we recommend that once you find a place that you leave it there and walk or take public transportation to where ever you are going. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend George's place to anyone. We would definitely re-book here the next time we are in the city!
