Imagine your perfect AirBnB experience and what you'd expect for your money. That was our experience staying at Tim's place. Exactly as described in the listing, the house was comfortable, clean, well equipped, convenient and a great example of the classic Victorian San Francisco Home.

Tim met us at the house and was a perfect host, explaining everything and make us feel at home right away. All the little touches were there, a welcome pack, nibbles and drinks in the fridge. Even the sidenote things were there, like an ironing board and a bunch of spare towels and sheets. Within hours of arriving we felt like we had lived in San Francisco for years.

The location is superb too, an easy walk to the F line tram, which takes you to both downtown and Fisherman's Wharf. Best of all the people of the Castro are awesome, liberal, fun and friendly.

I honestly struggle to think of anything negative to say about this place, perhaps the tight bathroom or number of stairs ... LOL. But then isn't that part of the Victorian San Francisco house experience?

Finally be prepared to giggle at the regular flow of French tourists who come to visit the Blue House, check Wikipedia, which is 'somewhere kind of nearby', without giving away Tim's exact location.

Brilliant, what more can I say.
