Paul is an extraordinarily charming and gracious host who really goes the extra mile to prepare his guests to enjoy their stay to the max. He has written a veritable guide book to the immediate area including reliable restaurant suggestions, travel tips, etc. He lives in the apartment building and was very accessible, including greeting and settling us in upon our fairly late evening arrival. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. A balcony facing the Bay provides a truly spectacular view of this extraordinarily beautiful city. We were traveling as four adults and used all of the beds (full, trundle and sofa), all of them very comfortable. We always readily found parking across the street from the building. The neighborhood is adjacent to the Castro District and we enjoyed making the steep descent, winding through lovely neighborhoods and architecture, to walk there for dinner on a couple of occasions. There is a major mass transit connection in the center of the Castro district to which you can walk (as we did) or take the bus which sails by Paul's house every 45 minutes or so. Mass transit is very well organized in SF and you can readily learn the exact time to expect that bus. Over the course of a couple of trips, we've explored most of SF's neighborhoods. We all agreed that this was an optimal location for our purposes and would seek to stay there again if the opportunity arises. Thanks! -----Beth
