Budi is very warm and friendly host. Even though he was not in San Francisco for my check in due to work, he engaged his roommate to assist in the process. I appreciated that thought to lend first hand assistance to the guest.
Budi is also easy to talk to and offered a number of suggestions on places to visit. He was also easygoing in terms of host-guest interaction. Mostly, I was left to my own devices since I had a pretty packed schedule and was out early and back late.
I stayed in the Victorian room which had a piano in it (bonus for music enthusiasts). The room was spacious and clean, more than enough space for one person.
Shared spaces such as the bathroom and kitchen were also clean.
The location is a few stops away from some major attractions such as the Golden Gate Bridge, California Academy of Sciences and de Young museum. It's a bit troublesome to get Fisherman's wharf and the piers but nothing a change of bus or some walking can't fix.
The neighbourhood seems pretty safe and there are plenty of restaurants, pubs and a couple of supermarkets around the areas and a Walgreens about 5 minutes walk away.
All in all, it was a great experience. Thanks Budi!
