John was an excellent host. He communicates in a timely fashion, friendly, helpful and hospitable. I requested an early check-in and late check-out which sometimes is an issue with hosts, but John was very accommodating.
The studio is comfortable and clean. Perfect size for a solo or couple traveler. There's a two plate cookstove, microwave, small fridge, tea kettle and cookware. There's isn't a coffee machine but a small french press. The neighborhood is safe and on a busy street but the studio is in the back so it's quiet. One block away is Divisadero with loads of cafes, shops and restaurants. There's a convenient pizza shop on the corner. The Castro and Japan Town is about a 20-25 minute walk away. There are also many bus lines available nearby which was very convenient with my conference being downtown.
All in all, it's expensive to stay in San Francisco and this was a great deal, clean place with an excellent host. I'd consider staying again.
