Michael is an extremely thorough host. Even after I've lived for 5+ years in the area, he brought a fresh perspective on the area.
His apartment is unique and very carefully designed. It is bold and adventurous, and has concepts that question yet satisfy. However, it is also a very homely place, with a lovely sitting area to host people, and a wide dining area for food and fun. The kitchen is spacious. but the view from the kitchen and the back stairs onto the newly constructed Salesforce tower is just amazing.
it gives an amazingly unique perspective into San Fran life that you would certainly not get from a hotel.
