We had a really nice time staying at Dave's place in San Francisco. The house is quite big, offers plenty of space to hang out (the patio overlooking the garden is clearly an asset) and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We also liked the neighborhood (Glen Park/Bernal Heights) which is a bit away from San Francisco's tourist hubbub and felt therefore more authentic than some of the other places we had stayed in when visiting San Francisco on earlier trips. Nevertheless, you can reach all the main sights and much more by BART (the metro, about a 15 minute walk from David's house) or the Muni (lightrail, about a 5 minute walk to the nearest stop). As another plus, the airport is also not far away (15-20 minute drive by car or two BART stops). David was also a very responsive and helpful host. We had some problems with the shower when we arrived and he arranged for a solution immediately so things were fixed by the next day despite him being in Santa Barbara at the time. Staying with him offered very good value for money, particularly considering prices generally charged for accommodation in San Francisco, so we would do so again and can definitely recommend his place to other visitors.
