I truly enjoyed my 4 day stay with Doug & Richard! I immediately felt comfortable with my hosts. I was pleasantly surprised my first morning hearing the music playing during the complimentary continental breakfast. You can have as little or as much interaction with the hosts as you desire. Their home is in a central location to many of San Francisco's popular locations. You can either catch a bus at the corner or walk as I preferred. When I return I will not hesitate to stay with them. Hopefully Doug will be able to make the bike ride with me across the bridge and show me around that area.
