Brian was a great host. He met me on arrival and showed me around. I was mostly out and about during my stay so I did not spend much time with him, but he was available to answer any questions and offer a cup of tea.
The room was comfortable and as described. A couple with a baby was in the neighboring guest room, but sharing the bathroom with them was no problem. The jet-lagged baby was up sometimes at night and early in the morning, sometimes crying or just happily babbling. This wasn't really bothersome to me as I'm a pretty deep sleeper and get back to sleep easily if woken, but it could have been a problem for someone more sensitive to noise. This wasn't in Brian's control and the couple was very apologetic about it. (I didn't feel the need to ask for earplugs, and Brian did check in with me about the noise mid-visit.)
The apartment is gorgeous and clean, and I never felt like I was in the way. Brian had a hair dryer and some extra toiletries available including shampoo and conditioner. The only thing that I missed was a full length mirror, but not a big deal.
The neighborhood is convenient, though as in many parts of SF, there are often homeless individuals in the area. Street parking by the house was easy on the weekend but during the week I parked at a nearby garage for $15 a day.
Brian has a handy house manual printed up with the garage address and other info. Overall great stay, thank you! I would gladly stay here again.
