I visit the Bay often, and while I have a policy of staying in different neighborhoods every time, I'm tempted to make Gregory and Michèles home my consistent SF lodging.
The kitchen is *the* most amazing setting I've ever cooked or hosted in. The neighborhood is fantastic. The space just *feels* like home. And for a stressful work trip, that bathtub is divine.
On top of that, communication was incredibly responsive and connective; we shared restaurant tips, and they even visited my fave Austin suggestion (Ramen Tatsu-ya) that night! Food photos were shared.
This home is the only reason I made it through a hellish two weeks without emotional scarring. I enjoy hosting and recharging with loved ones, but I've always considered that an exclusive possibility in my own home. Not anymore
