We stayed in Richards lovely 1 bedroom flat in downtown San Francisco, walking distance from Union Square and even closer to market street where all the major transport links are. it was the perfect spot from which to explore San Francisco, and was only minutes away from the Moscone conference centre (the purpose of our trip).
The flat itself was very well maintained, comfortable and homely, and it was so useful to have a kitchen and washer/dryer at our disposal. We travelled with a 7 month old baby, and it was just perfect.
It's been a pleasure communicating with Richard, and he made things seem very easy and even left us eggs and muffins in the flat for breakfast He had gone away by the time we arrived in San Francisco, but his friend met us with the keys outside his flat. She even helped with our luggage and recommendations!
All in all, it was a great place to stay with an excellent host, and so much nicer and more practical than a hotel.
