Ivan and Wendy are among that category of hosts that go so far beyond your expectations that you usually only dream about meeting such people. My wife and I booked a night out in the Mission for our anniversary. Prior to checkin, Ivan, who is a long time local, contacted me to help me find all the best places to go. He even had recommendations that you can only get from a local. It was wonderful.

But... when our overnight babysitter fell through (we were still going to try and stay if we could find a different sitter) Wendy just switched us to the following night, at the possible cost of losing a booking! I'm sure that this isn't something you can do regularly as a host (and it probably depends on how busy the season is) , but it is this willingness to help make the stay superb in every way that makes these guys stand out. They have traveled the world and stayed with amazing people all over, and are dedicated to paying that forward.

Oh, and as for the listing? It is stunningly elegant. You will love it.

Thank you Ivan and Wendy. You guys are awesome!
