I booked on the same day as I arrived so it was great that was possible. I came to SF pretty tired but felt very comfortable and at ease in the wonderful homy house in just as wonderful neighborhood. Jan was very welcoming: she provided me with advise when I asked something. She also completely respected my privacy. The combination of the two was perfect- i could not have wished for a more comfortable stay. Tip: have breakfast at Tartine Bakery on the corner- i did it three times. Thank you Jan!
