Our week's sojourn in San Francisco was meant to be a rediscovering of the city after a long absence. We enjoyed the city, of course, but we enjoyed this apartment even more. In it we spent the better parts of all mornings and evenings, sleeping in, lounging on the incredibly comfortable sofa or stretching out on the bed & drinking a chilled glass of wine (that was already waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived) while watching the last episodes of Game of Thrones on Apple TV. Or else just observing the quality of light as it filtered through the beautiful white shutters and reading one of the many books and magazines on the coffee table. Everything was serene and perfect. Cleber met us at the door the minute we rang the bell and it took only a few more minutes for us to know that we have made a friend for life. He welcomed us as he would family, taking great pride in showing us his home, its nooks and crannies and all the details he has lovingly designed and installed. We found a superb host who regaled us with stories of Brazil, his adventures around the world, his love for Bordeaux Wine (which he amply supplied, along with lots of fruits, artisanal bread, real Greek yoghurt, cheeses and honestly, everything we could have possible wanted, needed and more) his passion for planting, sprouting and fermenting and healthy living. The apartment itself was in a superb condition & great care had been taken to provide all that we could possibly need. We found a home way from home and a great friend who went out of his way to make us comfortable and welcome, from the day we arrived until the day he bade us farewell.
