I felt welcome from our first text correspondence. Gary's enthusiasm, willing helpfulness and joyful demeanor set the tone for my stay in San Francisco as did his thoughtful directions of how to use the public transportation or preferred places to visit rather than the touristy places with long lines. Jefferson too was available and present with his warm friendly demeanor and open hearted conversation. The bedroom suite was exactly as pictured - even better - it was larger than it seemed in photos, perfectly clean, had a super comfy bed, fresh flowers in the living room and an i-pod full of music to listen to. The neighborhood was a great location to call home and to travel the city from the nearby public transportation. The Mission district is a funky part of San Francisco with lots of murals, shops, restaurants and street art. My intention was to live like a local on this trip which was easy to do with full access to the kitchen, backyard and local markets and cafes all within a short walking distance from the apartment. I will definitely come back to stay here on my next trip to the city. Thank you Gary and Jefferson, you are beautiful people. Till next time!
