This is straight-up staying at a hotel. It makes it very easy. Jeff is very responsive and if you've traveled to SF, you should know that the non-chain hotels are really hit or miss. This was a hit. Also they didn't even pitch me on the timeshare aspect once I said I had previously lived in SF, so word to the wise there. If you are truly a visitor, i think they offer hop on/hop off (if i overheard correctly) for hearing the pitch, so that may even be good for some folks.
