We met him on the first day and he gave us very useful pointers on where to go and eat (not hard to find good places in mission district). He was very understanding of our needs since we were traveling with an 8 month old baby. Both us and our baby were happy to have such a charismatic and helpful host.

Overall the place was exactly as described. Javi keeps his place very clean and organized, it made it easy for us to feel at home. It's very easy to get from here to anywhere in the city. There is a BART station nearby 16th and Mission and the muni buses stop just around the corner from here. The price point and location cannot be beat.

Javi even let us pick up our luggage after check out which allowed us to make a last minute stroll around Golden Gate park before our flight back home.
