Hayes Valley Victorian Courtyard Room

This is a thoroughly sanitized private room(s) that opens to the courtyard in our 1886 Victorian. The rooms have a permitted private kitchenette and great amentities. There is a modern bathroom (shared with 1 other guest at most). There is an optional second room available. Inquire w/ us.
*PLEASE read entire description and additional house rules so you know what to expect.

Neighborhood overview: Some of the best neighborhoods in this city are Hayes Valley, the Mission, the Castro and Lower Haight. Fortunately, our house is located at the meeting point of all three, so you have access to some of the best food — both quick eats and sit down spots — cafes, parks, music, bars, shopping and artwork in the city. We are happy to forward you recommendations on places to go for social time, personal time, and community events. We also have a guide to local recommendations and amenties in the room (or I can send you the pdf beforehand if you want it for planning).
Also, I lead two Airbnb Experiences, a history/sights/food tour of our amazing area and a "How to Survive the Apocalypse" sights/learning adventure.

About the host: Greetings!

My name is Warren C. Lathe III, I go by Trey (a nickname, means "3" :). I am a career biologist (molecular genetics) though currently, I'm writing, teaching and other things (like Airbnb!). 

My partner in crime since 1996, and legal husband since 2008, is Guy and we have two school-age (middle and high schools) children (the picture here was 8 years ago :D). Guy is an English as a Second Language teacher by training and career, but now manages properties.

We have a long and deep connection to San Francisco. Guy is a Berryessa. The Berryessa's settled San Francisco and the bay in the 1770s coming with the De Anza party in 1776. His GGrandfather was Jose de los Santos Berryessa.  Guy's parents were married and lived in this city during the '40s (while his father fought in the Pacific theater). My own parents moved to the Bay Area in the 80's. Guy and I both moved into this home in 1997. San Francisco had been our dream city for its acceptance, tolerance, family heritage and its beauty. It has been our permanent home since (though my job took us to  Heidelberg Germany for four years ('99-'03) and DC for two ('12-'14).

Other than science and education, I'm a history, gardening, cooking and travel fanatic :). Guy loves traveling and design. Our eldest is all about acting, singing, make-up, friends, family and the indoors. Our younger is all about dance (Jazz, Modern, HipHop), building things, friends and the outdoors.

Between us we speak passable Korean (me), Swedish (Guy), German (both) and a bit of Spanish (Guy).

Looking forward to meeting you!
