Samantha was a truly amazing host. She was incredibly flexible. We had been travelling California, and we got stuck in Las Vegas, which meant that we were unable to get up to San Francisco in time for check in and she made appropriate arrangements so that we still had enough time to enjoy the city.
The apartment/cottage was lovely, and is excellent for privacy. It is located behind a house which you access through a side gate, but the cottage is very roomy, and has everything you need to make your stay pleasurable.
We wanted for nothing during our stay. I never actually met Samantha, because she respected our privacy and the check in and check out process did not require interaction with the host. however she was very very responsive over the phone and emails. I also was sure that if I needed anything, she would have had no qualms popping down to help us out.
Great great host.
