Josh provided all the information I asked for and options for transport to his place from the airport. I found his house perfectly located for my needs - very close to the fascinating Golden Gate Park with multiple points of interest and other local parks park (which I cycled through using one of his loan bikes). Haight Ashbury central with its curious blend of 60s/70s culture and great cafes and markets is just two blocks away and the Castro district is just a short interesting walk away. I stayed in central last stop over and enjoyed this setting much more. Josh's location is also well serviced with public transport and travelling by bus can be quite an education in these parts - never a dull moment!

I found Josh's place very clean, the bed really comfortable and the huge windows let in plenty of light. Very welcoming indeed, and the same with Josh himself. He responded very quickly to requests while I was there and couldn't have been more helpful. I had formed quite an attachment to the place by the end of my stay and would be keen to return next time.
