The host was very hospitable, leaving a welcome gift and recommendations on sites and food in the neighborhood. He was also very flexible with our check out time to allow some other international travelers a little more time before heading to the airport - a welcome bit of respite before a long journey.
The house was perfect for myself and the 8 other people we wanted to get together.... renting a place for 9 in SF is no small feat and this was just the perfect place to do it. We all had a wonderful time in a place that felt like we were all at home, but in another city.
The neighborhood is nice a quiet, conveniently located to Muni and to BART, and for those with the calves, walking distance from some great places.
A great trip, thanks in part to a great place and a great host.
