Mario and his partner were amazing hosts! They are great people, very approachable, honest, fun and very attentive. They accomodated my family's different arrival times and were very welcoming. Their house is beautiful and spacious with a beautiful backgarden. The room is bigger than it looks in the pictures and it has its own entrance (very good privacy arrangement) very clean, tidy and well decorated. The neighborhood is quiet and calm and it has great views of the city up the hill. The house is on a slope (its SF!) But we didn't use public transportation. My family was very pleased and happy with their stay, experience and hosts. I hope Marina and I get to see Mario again in SF!
