Vic is a legend to say the least. I've never met a more caring, gracious, and flexible airbnb host (and person) than him. Not only was Vic incredibly responsive to all my needs, he made the entire house feel comfortable and made sure to introduce us to everyone staying at the other houses (an awesome way to meet people). The mountain view house itself is a great spot because it's only three blocks away from downtown MTV—Castro St—and it's close to everything you could possibly need (CVS, library, restaurants, banks, Caltrain, etc...) while still being quiet. My favorite spot is definitely the backyard where you can do work or just relax with your housemates. I've never been in want of anything during my whole stay with Vic. Stay in one of Vic's Hackerhomes!!!!! It'll be one of the best decisions you ever make if you come to the Bay Area!
