We searched and received immediate confirmation of our stay all in one day .
Divya’s place is immaculate and beautifully decorated . The hostess added a lot of final touches & gave us useful tips of where to go in the locality ( especially Twin Peaks which is only a seven minutes hike away ) .
She definitely made us feel welcomed & we will book Divya’s place again for sure .
But ... I questioned if we will ever visit SF at all in future after an incident on our last day that I like to share with future travelers ...
Before going on , I stress that this incident had absolutely nothing to do with this Super Host (who was away abroad and did her best to help us ) but ...about SF in general ie...
Hours before boarding our flight home , our car was broken into and virtually everything that we possessed & collected during our trip (including our passports) were stolen by thieves at Cost Plus Car Park near Fisherman’s Wharf !
I am angry about the trauma that my wife & 7 y/o daughter had to go thru ... the non productive ordeals of having to report the incident to the SFDP and having no assistance or procedures to convince the airline & the TSA of our IDs such that we had to virtually get down on our knees to plead before finally being allowed to fly home at the very last minute .
We left with senses that SF is being kind to let us leave for home , in spite of our losses !!!
For sure , these are common & usual occurrences ....that life goes on without care & nothing will be done to try to protect visitors’ safety, etc.
In a bigger picture , this is this city’s widespread & long tine sickness that awaits curing by those responsible .
