James is a great host; he is exceptionally friendly and responsive. Even though he was traveling when I stayed there, he responded to messages within minutes. His apartment is lovely. It is located in a great quiet and residential neighborhood yet only 2-4 blocks from restaurants and stores in a couple of directions (Haight St and Cole Valley). He is in walking distance of a lot of the City, especially if you like to walk, and is also w/in 2 blocks of a bus stop. As the photos show, the apartment is beautiful and the private room is very comfortable. I would happily stay here again.
