I very reluctantly offer this review of Waller Flats, not because anything was wrong but because everything was so right. I don’t want too many people to discover this gem for fear that it will be booked solid from now ‘til the end of time! The rooms were great and cozy, and it felt like we had the whole floor to ourselves. The location is ideal — walking distance from historic Haight-Ashbury and just a few blocks from a subway and bus hub that will take you anywhere you need to go. Most importantly, Billy and John are the best hosts anyone could hope for. Billy is a walking encyclopedia. Go ahead and ask him anything — about art, the history of San Francisco, his neighborhood, what to visit, where to eat, who lives in all those fabulous Victorian homes — and you’ll feel like you walked into a continuing education course. John makes everyone feel right at home, with extra blankets, filtered water and a down-home Texas charm that hasn’t worn off despite his many years in San Francisco. Don't think of it as a room to rent but rather as an experience to enjoy. This is about as good as it gets.
