Overall my experience at Patrick's home was very positive and I would not hesitate to repeat it. His was truly accommodating in letting me check in early as well as leave my luggage for the better part of the check-out date so that I good get in some more sightseeing . In both cases- checking in early and checking out late- he showed not discomfort in allowing me the keys beyond the stated times. I appreciate very much this honor system, which factored into final decision to forgo a hotel. Additionally, Patrick welcomed me to the use of the kitchen as well as the living area without a litany of restrictions. The neighborhood which is mostly quiet and residential is very well located as far as public transportation and is interesting in itself as far as its historical homes and a bohemian feel a short walk from the house which transitions in another direction to a more gentrified neighborhood leading to the University of San Francisco. The only drawbacks if they could be considered such would be the lack of TV, which far from essential, might be a perk for those curious about the local
broadcasting. Also perhaps too minor to mention is that there is another guest room. If you are a light sleeper and the other guests are up and about before you are, then there is the possibilty of being awakened a bit early. But I stress that this is more of an issue with those having sleep sensitivities than with the lack of noise control on the part of the owner as it is clear Patrick screens his lodgers. To repeat, a very memorable experience indeed.
