We stayed in Joyce & Wilson in July 2024, for our daughter's dream trip to the West coast. The apt is is about 15-20 minutes from SFO, with a tram station just right outside the building. We couldn't stay the whole time in the apt due to personal preferences, so didn't explore further. We didn't have any issue at all with the Front desk (as exchangers), though we do follow Joyce's recommendations carefully. Wilson is very knowledgeable of the city and gave many thoughtful and good recommendations of restaurants and places to visit for which we are grateful. We are also very appreciative of the offer to pick-up from SFO. -
Wilson and Joyce were lovely hosts. They were extremely flexible when our flights and plans changed. They were very welcoming, coming all the way to the airport to pick us up and making sure everything was ready and clear to us before leaving. The apartment is perfectly situated, spacious and very pleasant. When the power of the neighborhood went down, they helped us and brought flashlights and batteries to be able to manage this unfortunate situation that the whole block was on. I'd definitely recommend exchanging houses with them! -
W&J's San Francisco home is a great location, with a short walking distance to Whole Foods and Safeway, and a few restaurants. Yerba Buena Gardens is close by like their backyard. Union Square, Market Street, and the Ferry Building are all within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay in their very spacious two-bedroom home - an ideal place to do a little work when traveling, as it's so quiet with all the windows facing a peaceful courtyard. They have two desks set up in two bedrooms. The building is modern and secure, the home is homey. Communication with W&J is very smooth.

W&J
We are an early 40s couple living in the downtown part of San Francisco. J is an accountant for a local nonprofit and W an analyst at national bank. We are non-smoking, quiet, respectful, environmentally green, health conscious, low maintenance and enjoy good food and the sporty outdoors. We have hosted Airbnb guests at our condo in the past and every one of them have enjoyed staying in our home. We completed a 3-week home exchange in Oahu in 2021 and 2 weeks in Vancouver in July 2022 and our guests loved our space.

From Kathy for 3 day(s) in Lake Tahoe, CA on February 9, 2022: I enjoyed meeting Joyce and Wilson. They were very polite and easy-going. They came with friends and everyone took care of my house and clean really well when they left. As this was a hosted exchange I was in the house during their stay. They were gone skiing during the day and very quiet in the evening. I would welcome them back anytime.
From Debra in Oahu, HI for 18 days from August 1, 2021
Exchanging with Joyce and Wilson was a great experience. We had messaged and did Facetime walkthroughs prior to our arrival so we truly felt we were exchanging with friends. It was a first time for both of us so we shared tips between us to make for the best HE experience. Their SF condo was spacious, comfortable and in a good location for all that we were interested in doing. We appreciate how they took care of our home and plants, and would not hesitate to recommend them to other home exchangers.
