Sandor and his lovely wife, Giuliana, were the perfect hosts for our recent weekend stay at their home in the Marina district. It was our first airbnb experience, and they helped make our stay extra-enjoyable. Their house was cozy and inviting, our bed super-comfy, and there was plenty to do and see just a short walk away. Another great feature: free parking on the street! (You can see the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of the block.)

After a seven-hour drive, Sandor greeted us with wine, cheese and crackers. Throughout our two-night stay, Sandor and Guiliana went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. They were delightful conversationalists, and provided us with a tasty breakfast. Oh, and they have the two most adorable dogs. Highly recommended!
