We had a wonderful time staying at Kurt and Pedro's place. It's extraordinary to be able to experience a slice of nature (great bird life, occasional coyote howls, dirt walking tracks around Corona Heights and Buona Vista parks) yet be so close to the heart of the Castro district and a Muni stop. Being atop a steep hill provides a wonderful view and a unique microclimate. We found that the no. 37 bus was a good (but circuitous) way to avoid the daily uphill walk home from the Castro - made life easier for our 5 year old.
Kurt and Pedro were always very readily available, communicated very effectively, and were very warm, personable and welcoming hosts who made our stay such a special experience.
We also enjoyed making good use of the playing cards, monopoly board and interesting array of books available.
