Ivan and Wendy are perfect hosts and make a terrific bedroom and private bath in their beautiful home available to guests. This was our first experience with airbnb and also our first 'big adventure' as recent retirees. We really appreciated Ivan's willingness to meet us at 2pm as we came off a 'road trip' and needed to leave our luggage before turning in our rental car downtown. The comfy bed and VERY quiet night were such a bonus to weary travelers!

Our hosts introduced us to the delights of vibrant street, dining and night life only a few steps away on Valencia. After fabulous meals among high energy crowds at Limon and Locanda, the stroll with the ebullient throngs enjoying the balmy nights returned us to another peaceful night overlooking the garden at the back of this historic house. The weekend gatherings in Dolores Park are to be experienced, and morning runs with thrilling city views from the stairways of Dolores Heights seemed safe to this 'country mouse'. We became croissant regulars at (delectable) Tartine, followed by the pleasant walk past the historic Mission Dolores to the 'N' line(Ivan's tip), thereby accessing downtown/Ferry Wharf in one direction and the museums and gardens of Golden Gate and Lincoln Parks the other.

Highly recommended!!
