Dan was so welcoming. He really made our trip to San Francisco. We arrived earlier than expected from Bodega Bay. Dan let us in so we could drop our bags and showed us around. Both the apartment we were staying in and his! He has a truly beautiful house :)
The apartment was lovely, everything we needed. I had to work for a couple of days and it was so relaxing coming back to the apartment, comfy sofa, great firm mattress, quiet - a real oasis. And we loved Castro! Great places to eat on your doorstep and some entertaining shop windows...
Dan and his partner Jorges really were wonderful hosts and I haven't even mentioned the wonderful dinner they cooked for us, complete with birthday cake! It was my husband's 40th birthday. We loved spending time chatting to Dan over fresh bread, cheese and red wine and he also took us on a fab tour around the city, up to Twin Peaks for amazing views.
On our last day, our flight was later in the day, but Dan was very accommodating with our luggage and let us leave it at the house until we left around 5.30pm. This was such a huge help, especially as my husband had a surfboard, which we definitely didn't want to be dragging around the city. We were truly sad to leave Dan and Jorges and felt we'd become friends in a short space of time. We would have never got such an experience staying at a hotel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dan's place to anyone wanting to stay in San Francisco. He's proud of his city, his enthusiasm is infectious and we hope we can repay the favour if he and Jorges ever visit Melbourne.
