ABOUT US

We are a married couple, with two children (born 2011 and 2012) and an adorable dog (goldendoodle). In 2010 we spent a year traveling around the world and were particularly grateful for the generosity of many hosts who opened up their homes to us, often demonstrating their desire for us to love and enjoy their city and country. Our hopes at that time was that one day, we would own our own home, and meet and host visitors from all over.

In 2011 we moved from New York City to San Francisco and we bought our dream home in 2012. We enjoy playing host and welcoming visitors into our home and suggesting great places to visit while staying in the San Francisco area.

GETTING AROUND

Our location is easily accessible to public transportation:

- The 38 and 5 express blocks, each 2 - 3 blocks away will take you downtown to all the shops by Union Square and the Ferry Building in approx 20 minutes, where you can enjoy gourmet restaurants and bountiful farmer's markets 3 times per week. Or you can take the bus in the other direction and go to Ocean Beach and beautiful Lands End!

- We also have easy, direct bus access to popular neighborhoods, such as The Castro, Dolores Park, The Mission, The Sunset, The Fillmore, Japantown, The Haight, NOPA, Cole Valley, Hayes Valley, and of course, downtown.

- We are walking distance to GG Park, the Presidio, and many other shops and restaurants. Uber and Lyft are also very easy to get.
