Mac's place was just beautiful and Mac was a perfect host.
I arrived much later than expected due a flight delay out of Dallas to SFO and did not arrive until 3am. I told Mac that he could just leave me a key and I would let myself in. I also would have been very understanding if he had cancelled the stay due to the extremely late arrival. However, Mac was very kind and greeted me at 3am in the morning. He knew that my trip was a last minute customer support trip and had pity on a weary traveler. I am so appreciative of that.
I later learned that Mac is a retired executive of a hotel chain. He's been in the business and understands customer hospitality. A true professional.
The house is just amazing. I had use of the kitchen, exercise equipment, and the patio. It was a short work trip so I only made use of the patio. I really enjoyed my two evenings with a glass of scotch as the sun set over the horizon. On one of the evenings, I saw two large owls land in a nearby tree. Magical.
I noticed before booking that Mac did not have a full sized coffee machine. I asked if he would allow me to have one delivered as I like to take a full pot of my own coffee to work with me. I've done this before with other hosts and I always leave the coffee machine. Mac was fine with it.
Very accommodating host. Understanding. My first choice for a return trip to San Jose.
