I've traveled to over 60 countries and the best experiences are always when staying with locals.
My passions are dancing and foreign films, so if you stay here I might take you to a salsa club or a milonga, or to a film outing with my foreign film group.
I'm also very plugged in to the SF social scene, so can give you many options to do in the evening.

I was hosted in SF for 3 nights. The place is in a good situation. It's in a calm neighborhood. There are buses 5 minutes walking that takes you to the center. Also there is a walgreens, gas station and whole day parking in five minutes around walking. The place is good and has averything needed although is a little old.
good stay in SF. Igor was very helpful. Location is very good.
The host canceled my reservation 10 days before arrival.
Clean 2 bedroom house. Absolutely a fantastic place to stay and is located so close to everything! Had a great experience!
it's easy to see why igor's a power user and why his reviews are so favorable. he responded within seconds, worked with me swiftly when i needed last minute housing, and has his property access and things you need to know worked out to a science. the room itself is basic but clean, the sheets and mattress hold no surprises. i also found the location really great. quiet and yet 1-2 blocks to from lots of bus lines and the two best strips of the marina area. changed my perception of the...

My two friends and I had an amazing stay! We booked the living room/couch and felt right at home with the internet, spacious kitchen, clean bathroom and beautiful views...it was every broke college kid's dream. Great location, too. Thanks, Igor!
Igor was very responsive to my last minute request! He had a clean place that was on a lot of bus routes into SoMa.
Great location and easy to get around, especially with Igor's website suggestions on public transit. The building was a bit seedier than expected and carpet stains a surprise, but the use of a kitchen, internet and parking below made for an overall comfortable stay. The fluffy towels were great!
I had the worst day ever in SF. But it was only because I wasn't prepared well, and Igor did everything possible to accommodate me and help me =) The apartment's location is really nice (near the Fisherman's district), and quite spacious. I wasn't a big fan of the decoration there, but that's okay I guess (judge by the photos !)
Our experience was unique in that we purchased a 2 night hotel stay that Igor had received. He was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. We appreciated his prompt communication and workability considering the last minute purchase. Igor is a host you can trust and rely on, thanks!
Great view for 4th of July fireworks! Everything went as expected.
The host canceled my reservation the day before arrival.
Logs is a very good houst, He working at so far away from apartment , but he for me come to room ready for many things to me, I just want to learn the Golden Bridge area, that is nice place
I needed a place short notice and contacted Igor who instantly responded. The place I inquired about was booked as we communicated so he offered me the room I ended up staying in. He was easy to contact and open to any questions or suggestions. Getting the key was the easiest thing. The apt was in a relatively quiet area close to public and a 24 hr pharmacy. The room was comfortable and the common area was spacious. Overall I had a great experience and Igor was a great host, always... More »
Igor is a good host. He helped us with all our questions and concerns. We stayed for two nights and the place was very nice and clean. I would definetelly recomend this apartment to everyone!!!
Check in was a little mixed up to begin with. I liked the lockitron experience, your smartphone has the ability to unlock the doors. However, I only saw half of the online 'keys' when I first arrived. Within 30 minutes it was fixed and working fine. Due to complications, Igor also upgrade my room for no extra charge. He seemed sympathetic to a travelers' needs and expectations.
Igor was only the only responder who actually seemed pleased to host me. I sent out six inquiries and only heard back from two hosts. I was looking for a place to only sleep. This filled the bill. It was in walking distance to the hospital. (Of course, it is hilly). Very clean. And, even with other, younger guests in attendance, it was quiet. Igor's couch was very comfortable.
I came to Igor's appartement with 3 friends and we enjoyed our stay. Igor's appartement is really Nice ! We found all we needed ! Thanks Igor.
Igor was fantastic. He was very accomodating and there were no problems. I would stay there again.
It was great staying at his place!! Comfortable beds and warm showers and your own kitchen to prepare meals.apartment was situated really near the attractions and from the roof top you could really see all the prominent landmarks of San Fran!
Igor was a wonderful host. My bedroom was superb, soft bedding, great view. Everything was clean and up to par, special thanks to him and his cleaning crew, you guys totally ROCK:)) I couldn't have asked for more! I would recommend to anyone looking for a chill spot in a posh part of San Francisco. Cheers
Liked the place.
Igor was very quick to respond and very informative and professional to deal with. Cow Hollow is a nice area and the parking was very convenient.
Igor was very accomdating for our check in and even let me use his parking space at the last minute. The apartment is clean and in a good location. We did have to share the apartment with 2 other parties but that was no problem for us. Thanks Igor.
I had a great and uncomplicated stay. Igor was a very helpful and responsive host. The place was perfect for my short trip including the view from the roof! next time again!
Very convienent location. The place is clean and spacious. We are very pleased with our stay.
Very friendly hosts - lovely people, but the arrival experience was a bit disorganized. I had to make my own bed and then wait a few hours for the cleaning to be done. Great location. Nice and quiet.
This B+B in Cow Hollow was my first experience with Air B+B and I couldn't have asked for a better one. It was a magnificently central location for my family and I to explore San Francisco. The apartment felt like it was our and at the same time, felt like it had been previously lived in and loved. It was great to see other people's 'thank you' notes on the fridge. I felt like I was part of something greater than myself.
The apartment is in a great location with a very short walk to great resaurants/bars/cafes and buses. There were 4 of us renting the whole apartment and we found it to be very spacious. Igor is a great host who gave us fanatastic advice on what to do and see, locations of restaurants and advicde on the various buses and there routes. We highly recommend this apartment if you are considering it. Thanks again Igor.
Igor's place is in a fantastic location. On one side you have Union Street and the other is Chestnut. It is a very pedestrian friendly area with easy access to nice restaurants, groceries, etc. Igor is a great host and always makes sure that you have everything that you need.
Fantastic location and very good public transportation access. The roof view of the SF Bay is well worth going up to see it.
It was my second time staying at Igor's apt., but this time I was not by myself... I brought a group with me and we rented out the whole place. Great times! Not only the place has plenty of space and is comfortable to stay in, but also the location is awesome! Great bars and restaurants around, so we never had to walk more than 10 minutes to get anywhere. Next time I'm in the city, I'm probably staying there again :)
Igor was able to accomodate me last minute and it was great! Great area, walking distance to plenty of shopping and the Golden Gate Bridge! He allowed me to park my car downstairs - and even let me keep it there a few hours after check out. Thanks again for all your help! Certainly a recommended stay in the area.
Large comfortable apartment
Great stay, very comfortable room and clean bathroom and kitchen. The flat is in a nice area, close to lots of things but still quite quiet. Igor was a great host, and everything ran really smoothly with no problems! Very recommended!
The apartment was perfect. Very clean and the location can not be beat. It was also nice to be able to hang out with family in the living room rather than shuttling between multiple hotel rooms. The bus was very close and easy to use. The shopping and restaurants and movie theater on Chestnut gave us a wonderful sense of the neighborhood. Thank you to Igor for making our trip to San Francisco so much fun!
I was looking for last minute accomidations and igor was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks igor.
I#ve stayed in Igor's place for almost 3 weeks and it couldn't have been better! The apartment is located in an awesome location with great Muni connections and it has a stunning view. The place itself is very clean and tidy and very spacious. Igor was the best host ever. He put so much effort in making me feel comfortable. I could always call him if I had any questions (also not related to his apartment). I'll definitely stay there again :-)
This place is in such a great location!! Close to everything you want to visit in San Fran! The apartment is like being at home, everything you need is there. We would highly recommend this!
Igor is great! He is very responsive and on top of everything - that gives you peace of mind when staying at his place.
Our stay in Igor's apartment was great. He communicated very well with us and gave us lots of recommendations on places to eat, etc. in the neighborhood. Everything was accurately described and the apartment had everything we needed as well as being in a great location. Thanks Igor!
Igor was extremely hospitable and very professional. The location of this apartment is terrific with easy access to muni. During our stay we met some really interesting people. You cannot go wrong staying here.
Igor was not present for my stay, but he welcomed via telephone and entrusted me with his space. His apartment is a typical, older SF walk-up -- great location for tourists. He even has a parking spot(!) beneath his building he rents out for $10 -- its a steal in SF.
Good place, good location, good host... we had a great time!
Great location and a good stay.
Igor was helpful, but I didn't realise he wouldn't actually be there at any time until after the booking was complete (I probably should have asked a few more questions). The place was clean and well maintained and the location was great. The other guests that stayed at the same time were very friendly and polite. Would be happy to stay there again!
I stayed in Igor’s flat in middle march. I liked everything. The apartment is clean, spacious and light. There is a good parking place into the house on the 1st floor. House located near Chestnut St, where are many shops, café, restaurants, etc. Host is very friendly. When I had questions, the host quickly helped them to solve. Overall rating 5/5. I recommend to everyone stop in Igor’s apartment.
We booked this room the day before we needed it. Igor is a wired dude, so it's nice that he gets back to you quickly. However, the room is really very sparse and unattractive and the bed is very poor. Also, the amenities are bad or non-existant. We had to bring our own sheets and towels, and there were no shampoos etc. in the shower. We have found much better places with Air BnB. If you have the time or the option, I'd suggest you try another room. We stayed in a place for $20 cheaper in San... More »
Everything was great. The location is incredible, there is so much to eat and see right down the street. Igor is very helpful with getting in and figuring out what to do. I'll definitely be staying here whenever I come back to the city. It's really really big for a place in San Francisco, as well. We didn't expect that much space.
Perfect Perfect Perfect for me! I plan on coming back in a couple months!
excellent stay! All people who shared the appartement wiht me were very friendly and I enjoyed the time with them. The neighborhood is great and all the SF attractions are easy to reach. It's overall quiet and I had a good sleep every night I've been there. Don't hesitate, take this great place!
This place was fantastic! Beautiful spacious apartment with awesome panoramic views if you just go one floor up. Even from inside the apartment the views were really cool. The location is perfect because it is very quite and peaceful and just two blocks over on Chestnut you are in the activity scene with restaurants, shops, and bars. When I stayed, it was a beautiful sunny day so that enhanced the experience. Igor was a great host. Even though he wasn't there he made sure I was able to get... More »
Location, location, location!!! Great location! This is a no-frills arragement but has absolutely everything you need: private bath, linens and towels, use of the kitchen, wi-fi, (paid) parking, laundry, walking distance to *everything*, close to 101N access. We had our own room and bath but Igor was hosting someone in the living room which we didn't mind at all. All guests we met were very nice people and Igor was exetremely responsive and helpful; responded to all my emails within minutes.... More »
Igor's place was in an excellent location, close to everything and a short walk to some amazing sites. Loved the great cafes and shops just down the road and the amazing views from further up divisadaro. The only thing was that we had a large group and it was definatly on the smaller side, however, having two bathrooms was a god send. just a note though, the fold out bed is broken so it meant that we had to have two ppl sleeping awkwardly, or on the floor.. its sleepable, just not... More »
Very nice apartment . The apartment is closed to all the famous attractions. Very quiet and nice area, we spend a perfect few days in there. Didn't have the chance to meet him but everything went smoothly.
Great location in SF. Place was spacious and clean.
Very flexible and friendly host, with a phenomenal location in SF.
Igor was a great host and the place was as described. A++!
Igor is a gracious and accomodating host, and his apartment is spotless and comfortable. The location is fabulous and the views sublime. Would highly recommend to all!
I was happy to be able to stay in the Marina area. I was only there for three nights and needed a bedroom and a bath. I would say that the stay was "bare bones". Unless I missed some information, I was surprised to find there were no towels, so I had to go out an buy some. The bed and bath were clean. The wall-to-wall in the bedroom either needs cleaning or replacing. It was very stained.
Did not actually meet Igor during our stay, but hIs place was very comfortable and is in a great location. Igor was flexible and accommodated us when our plans changed.
The location and size of the apartment are fantastic. Cleaning is a problem. I had to clean out the frig of rotting food. A rusting bed frame is out on the fire escape balcony, otherwise marring a decent view. The view of Golden Gate Bridge is not from the apartment, but from the roof. And the entry closet is so full of stuff as to be a hazard. The place needs a good cleaning and maintenance. But otherwise Igor delivered a great place from which to explore SF and the Bay area.
Igor was great. There was a double booking for the place, so Igor put us up at an inn just around the corner with all the same amenities as his place. We had a great parking spot...hard to come by in the city. We enjoyed our stay in San Francisco.
Igor was able to accommodate us at the last minute (we booked a same day reservation). His place was very modest, but the price was reasonable, it was in a good location, and it had covered parking. Igor was incredibly responsive and checked to make sure we got settled in OK. I can see why people are happy with the experience of renting from him.
everything was really good, thank you very much.
Igor's place was awesome, great nightlife and area! I would totally say it was way better than stay a hotel/motel and would definitely book again. Thanks Igor for the experience:))
Spartan but clean. Considering location and price, it's definitely a great value. My wife and I enjoyed the neighborhood shops and restaurants, and we were able to go anywhere we wanted via public transit. Igor's directions and advice were helpful and very much appreciated. Based on our stay, we would recommend Igor's place and will use airbnb again. The stay would have been ideal if the pull-out sofa had not been rented our first night. Having someone else renting the sofa made us... More »
If your looking for a place to lay your head thats close to everything I would recommend it! We honestly just slept there, we were gone the entirety of our days. The only thing I would say is just know that there are two other rooms, so you will have roommates, however there is a lock on the bedroom we stayed in, if thats something your concerned with. Igor was a good communicator and kept us aware when new people would be checking in. This location is great and just a quick walk, less... More »
We had great time in SF and Igor's apartment is in a very good location- close to the beach, Fisherman's Warf, Lombard, Chestnut and Union Streets and not far from the Downtown. We enjoyed a great view on the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge too. Igor appeared to be very hospitable, friendly, honest and helpful.
igor was a great host in coordinating with me thru his workplace. unfortunately i was unable to meet him because of his schedule but his humble abode was very welcoming and the best location for all sorts of activities! I was able to walk to the 30 bus which literally took me all over fisherman's wharf, the bridge, chinatown, japantown and all other places, and polk street! all that in one day + good food = a great day! Thanks Igor for a wonderful stay, i would recommend your place for any... More »
Igor's flat was a great place to stay for a group of sailors competing in the Big Boat Series. It is close to the marina and all of the restaurants on Lombard St. I would recommend it for budget conscious travelers.
Igor was very helpful setting up the apartment for my dad and sister who were visiting me. We found the place very clean and organized. The apartment is located in a beautiful area with a great view and easy to access most neighborhoods and tourist attractions. We rented the whole apartment and every room was very comfortable (the couch was too!) I would totally rent from Igor again if I get more visitors.
Very clean. Easy to reach as it's near major freeways and thoroughfares. Great lightning.
For those who are picky, the place could be a cleaner, particularly the carpet. Newer sheets and towels would be nice too. Otherwise, everything was as advertised. There were no bad surprises. We rented the entire apartment, and it was nice to have a home away from home. Igor was very helpful and informative.
Igor is an absolute pleasure. His apartment was spacious, clean, well-decorated, and exactly what I needed. I look forward to staying at Igor's place again and again when I visit SF.
Helpful and accommodating. Was flexible with our schedule. Great spot, highly recommended.
I rented garage parking with Igor. It worked out great for my weekend class. He was very helpful.
We really enjoyed staying at Igor's flat. It's spacious, a great location in a known area of San Francisco. We really appreciated the use of the garage that reduced stress. We also liked the cheap laundry facilities. We also found Igor very helpful and was always on hand to help us out whenever we had a problem. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable experience for our family of 4.
Thank you Igor for your excellent personal service and nice flat in downtown SF. Everything worked as you promised and our family had a great week in SF. We can definitely recommend Igor and his service. Ilkka Korkiakoski - Finland
We stayed 3 days with our 2 kids (14 and 11) on vacation from Scotland, and loved it. Great location, lots of space, great value for San Francisco. And of course a view of Alcatraz and the Bay to remind us where we were! Booking, arrival, and departure went completely smoothly, though we never actually met or spoke to Igor directly and did everything by email. Igor had the beds organized the way we wanted and everything clean and tidy for arrival.
With three, we had a nice two-day stay at Igor's place, arranged at the last minute in a nice, practical way. With two adolescents (19,15) we had a good stay, feeling at home both inside the house and outside in the neighborhood. Next time, we hope to meet Igor as he was out working. I recommend staying at Igor's.
Igor is so friendly and helpful! We booked our stay last minute and although he wasn't able to host us this time, he helped us settle in a hotel in the same area. Thanks Igor!
Igor's apartment was comfortable and very homely. The location is great with a Walgreens a block away. Chestnut street is great for cafe's, the gym, supermarket, clothes shopping and has everything you need. I walked to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Port of San Francisco and literally everywhere. However, it will take up to an hour to walk to Fisherman's Wharf - I was doing my holiday on foot so it was NO PROBLEM! Bus route 30 runs down Chestnut street which can take you where you... More »
I booked one night with Igor just one day before I arrived. He responded quickly to my request, and everything was set up when I arrived. I have to admit that the sofabed was not the most comfortable experience, but for the price and location (in a very nice neighborhood), it's a great deal.
Helpful host; nice bachelor's pad in a wonderful location. Would have been nice if kitchen included pots and pans, but otherwise we enjoyed the use of Igor's flat.
I went up to San Francisco with my film crew as a last minute trip. Wasn't expecting getting any spots but Igor came through and offered me his place. I never got to see him but when my check-in time came, the place was ready to go. My crew were very happy with the location and although we never stayed at the place for long (mostly working), we had a very pleasant stay. His instructions were very detailed and even offered some hang out spots advice, although on our free time we just... More »
I originally booked Igor's sofabed @ his Marina apartment. The rest of the apartment turned out not to be booked for 3 days of my 5 day stay and Igor gave me free reign to enjoy the apt. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It's walking distance from North Beach (Cote Tower/Fisherman's Warf) and J-Town. Plus the 24 bus runs very nearby and takes you into the Haight or Castro. Great deal!
We had such an amazing stay in SF, and Igor's place was fantastic! It's a great place to stay, with every amenity you could wish for (yes including a piano.) I only regret that we didn't get a chance to meet the man himself, we are however very grateful to him: thanks Igor!
I stayed in the master bedroom in the Mt View townhouse. The room has great lighting and is super spacious. The location is excellent as its very close to downtown Mt View, (website hidden), NASA and many other important questions. It's near major freeways and an important Central Expressway.
Great location in Cow Hollow, close to Chestnut and Union Avenues, lots of buses within a couple of blocks of the place, Crissy field, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Marina, within 15 minutes walk. Absolutely great view of the bay as well. This was a great place to stay for 2-3 people on a budget. Igor is friendly, helpful and accessible. Thanks for opening up your place!
Our stay was fine. We did not have another family or group with us. That was great because the apartment is NOT really capable of taking care of more than one group. Go ahead and hang the pictures on the wall so they don't get broken. It was a good location that was clean and safe. Buses 45 and 41 do the trick.
Great price and location
great location. tidy. the bedding and towels could have been more inviting looking. over all, a good place to stay for that price.
very friendly and accomodating - clean and comfortable place - will stay again. Thanks Igor
If you are looking for a great location, this is definitely worth the price. We had a full house and it felt more like a dorm than apartment. Igor is knowledgeable about the area. A good home base if you are in-and-out on the town.
We had lots of space (including lots of closer space) though were sharing the appt with one other group of people. Bathroom was very clean though whole apartment could do with a bit of airing.
Real friendly and helpful guy. Great communication. We had the whole apartment to ourselves and the garage was handy! The area is quiet and close to a lot of nice places. Thanks for everything :-)
The apartment is huge and the rate is pretty good compared to other places in such an expensive city. We had the whole apartment for ourselves. The location was perfect: close to shops, restaurants, public transportation. The area is safe and quiet. Igor was very helpful with information on the area and transportation. I would highly recommend it to other people!
the stay at Igors flat was perfect.. close to chesnut street which is filled with quaint shops, bars and restaraunts... we ate at E'Angelos Italian bistro on chesnut... The wine and atmosphere, service and food were all wonderful.. Igor left great instructions and was more than helpful in making sure we had all info we need to get around Sab fran.. I loved having the flat to ourselves.... The bed, not so soft, BUT the view and the location outweighed something trivial as the bed... we were up... More »
Igor was fabulous we had the whole apartment and the location was perfect. Igor was very helpful with information and tips for getting around and visiting various places would definitely recommend his place.
I stayed at Igor’s apartment with my family for a significant amount of time, and we had a very good time in San Francisco. The apartment is very good, and its location is one of the best in town, and Igor seldom comes to the apartment. And he is also very helpful all the time. I highly recommend it.
Apartment is at a great location and Igor was very helpful. We agree that the bathroom could be cleaner. Nevertheless, considering price and location we would definitely stay at Igor´s again.
I had a great stay at Igor's. Its quite a good location with very easy access to public transport and walking distance to good restaurants. I was also able to walk to the beach and the Presidio. Igor is very prompt, reasonable and flexible with arrangements. Igor isn't around much... would stay there again.
I had a great stay at Igor's. He was very thoughtful, his place was clean and safe—it couldn't have been better. Thanks!
I think that staying at Igor's was definitely the best choice. We booked the sofabed, but since a bedroom was available, he offered us to stay in there which was unexpected but very nice of him! Great location, price, and views! It was very easy to get around by walking or by bus. When we come back to SF, we will definitely book with Igor again! Thanks!
Great location, felt really safe all the time which was so important as a girl by myself. Igor was really helpful and ready to offer tips and suggestions for getting around.
Igor is really friendly and super helpful. The room is basic, but clean - feels a bit like the spare room with boxes and stuff hanging around though. Mattress very squeaky! Nice bright bathroom. Fantastic location, close to lots of bus routes and great eating and shopping on Chestnut St.
Spartan digs at a good price in an expensive city... Can't complain (slept well, felt safe)... Great location. Walked everywhere. Igor was away, so we never met him but he was very helpful (through emails) with suggestions for getting to and from the airport. He also let us keep our luggage at the apartment on our last day to accommodate a late flight out...thanks Igor
I can say that my staying at igor's place was one of the best choices that i will defintley repeat if i'll go back to san francisco Igor is a very friendly host and helpful & can guide u to whatever u want. the aprartment is in the middle of everything it was very convenient for public transportation to everywhere in SF, as well as to the most beautiful streets that u would love to spend ur nights Beside all that the view is unique specially from the roof where u can see the...

Great location. Fairly spartan but clean bathroom and bedroom. My plans changed last minute and Igor was very helpful and accommodating. thanks Igor
Igor double booked my reservation but was quick to offer other alternatives and even refunds on my reservation. He eventually made me a reservation at a local inn and transferred me the money for the inn. I never had the pleasure to meet Igor but over the phone he seemed like a nice guy.
Igor is a nice guy. There was a problem with our first nights reservation. But that we squared away. We did have a problem with the bathroom. It was not what we consinder clean. The location is great.
Igor was very polite and helpful and not around much. We found the location to be great, especially the nearby shops on Chestnut road. We were disappointed to find that the bathroom was quite dirty, the pillows lumpy, and no breakfast was provided on the first day (although the second day we were there Igor had some there). So, we would have hoped that the place had been cleaner with breakfast provided as advertised, but our stay was ok and we appreciated having somewhere to stay that was... More »
Great Location - Igor was very friendly and helpful he gave me tips and also advised me what to do in SF, so i refer this place to everyone who want to go fishermans warf golden gate bridge and chestnut st
Great Location - Great guy - Great place. Igor was very friendly (he even invited me out to grab food and see a movie with his friends) and was full helpful information (public transportation, where to eat, etc.). I would DEFINITELY stay here again. Thanks Igor.
Had a great time at Igor's. Great location within walking distance of chestnut street's restaurant's and bars, and ample parking on the street. We came and went as we pleased and had a great time exploring the city. Would definitely stay here again as it is a great deal. Thanks Igor.
Igor's place is in a great area and great location to explore the city. Definitely a great deal.
Igor was a great host! Thanks again! He was very helpful and graciously let me use his home and utilities. It has a great view and very accessible to mass transportation.
Igor was a great host! His apartment is in an awesome location, close to bars, restaurants, and lots of nightlife in the yuppie Marina neighborhood. Definitely an unbeatable value. I enjoyed staying with him and recommend him for all guests.
Igor is a great guy. This is a great deal for San Francisco no matter how you slice it. The location cannot be beat!
Stayed at Igor's with my daughter for six nights in total. Igor was very accommodating about my dates of stay which were split into two lots. Great location near shopping (Chestnut and Union), walking (Presidio Park) and the marina.
Great apartment, Igor was prompt and professional. Thanks Igor!!
Igor's place worked well for my conference at Fort Mason as I could walk there as well as to all the good choices for restaurants, bars and coffee shops on Chestnut. The room was good as it was a quiet place with my own bathroom. Perfect. Wifi worked great (critical for me) and Igor was very accomodating when I wanted to drop off a bag before noon. It was a great choice.
Igor made my first experience with AirBnB a positive one. He is knowledgeable, flexible and welcoming and has a good place to boot, especially as it was a last minute booking. Quiet room, clean bathroom close to the waterfront and Golden Gate Bridge. Recommend it.
My son and I visited with Igor and he was very flexible because I changed my time of arrival at least 4 times. He also referred us to a great museum type place that my son loved. The apartment was calm and quiet and the shower was fantastic, water pressure and heat were great after a long road trip - would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Mi sister and I had a very pleasant stay at Igor's! The room was nice and we had our own private bathroom, very clean too. The location is very good in a quiet neighborhood and all of the main SF attractions are a short bus ride away. We were so busy exploring the city that unfortunately we didn't get to hang out with Igor much! Maybe next time. I would definitely recommend his place!
His apartment is great and the view from the roof is nice to check out. He is helpful and friendly. He knows the neighborhood and can give you directions. I would definitely recommend him.
The place is in the best place of SF and very close to such attraction as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of Fine Arts and Fishman's Wharf. Given good weather, you can see Golden Gate Bridge from his window. Igor is very nice and helpful in providing all kinds of information.
When we are arrived to Igor it was after one week in NY and we have immediatly liked the quiet of his home... the view is incredible and even if the room is very simple it's comfortable and spacious! Igor is an host very nice and we have apreciated his discretion and his kindness... We enjoyed a good week with him!

Igor was my first host on AirBnB! Since then, I've stayed with him three more times, and he still continues to impress me with his attentiveness and flexibility. His flat is in a GREAT location, with beautiful views and many bus lines within a short walk. It's far enough from the party section of the Marina to be nice and quiet at night, but still close to everything worth seeing on Chestnut and Union streets. My only caution is that his private room is a bit minimal, but he's incredibly... More »
My daughter and I stayed a couple of nights at Igors. Igor is very quiet and we barely saw him, when we did he was very helpful. Dittos about the cleanliness of the bathroom bedroom was better. Take care Igor and thanks
Igor is a friendly, welcoming host. The location is awesome, you can walk to many restaurants, pubs, and shopping within a few blocks, and get to anywhere in the city via a quick trip on the bus. Also, the view of Golden Gate Bridge from his roof is postcard perfect. The sofa was very comfy. The house is tidy, although the bathroom was kinda messy. I would absolutely stay with Igor again: awesome guy & great access to all the sights of San Francisco.
Igor is a very kind person and really helpful.Our luggage was delayed when we arrived in SF and he helped us a lot, with phone calls etc to solve the problem -which in fact was solved!-. His house is in a great spot, great location to visit SF, plenty of nice bars and restaurants, at a walking distance from the Golden Gate national parks, so fun on weekends. The house is ok, the only point would be to have more furniture in the room. Thanks Igor for hosting us!dona and lore
When we first arrived it was a great location, yet not clean at all and there were boxes all over the place, so it was a bit disapointing from the picture and what I imagined from the reviews. The couch was not that comfortable. Then again, I felt that the price was ok, considering the location. The location was great! Also, we changed our plans and Igor was responsive, he got a lady to clean the place a couple of days before we left and it was a big difference. Also, he was understanding... More »
Igor is a wonderful host and his location is PRIME for visiting San Francisco. Being located right in the Marina District, any visitor has access to transportation that can get you anywhere in the cit. It's also easy to find his place when you arrive in town. I would strongly recommend igor and his place if you want to be centrally San Francisco located.
Igor was super accommodating and a great host! We missed each other most of the time we stayed there, but everything was nice. His place has a great view of Alcatraz (go up to the roof to get an amazing city view). Great alternative to staying in a hotel! Would def stay with Igor again!
staying with Igor wss very adequate. He made a space for us in his own room when the other spaces were booked. He was very responsible with keys, directions, food in the refrigerator and breakfast things. Very convenient location. While the bedroom was our own, the living room and bathroom were shared with others
Our stay with Igor was pleasant. Three people on a fold out was a little tight, but he did warn us prior. His place is located in a very nice part of town, and blocks away from public transportation. I definitely wouldn't recommend walking, seeing that he lives on one of the steepest hills in San Francisco; which we learned the hard way. Igor was prepared with many maps and brochures for tourist attractions, and very knowledgeable about the area.
Very nice place - perfect location with amazing views. Private room with bathroom was just right for me and my daughter Mimi. Igor is very helpful and unobtrusive. THANK YOU!
The location was perfect - it was easily accessible, near tons of restaurants and shops as well as within walking distance to the Golden Gate Bridge. The room was comfortable enough but it could have been better furnished and prepared prior to our arrival. Other than that, it was a rather pleasant stay!
Great experience - quiet, private, no hassles. Nice area. Easy to get around, near tons of restuarants and shopping. Igor was very accessible and helpful. Highly recommended!
Igor's place is in a safe apartment building located in a safe neighborhood. Close to bus stops and plenty of cafes, restaurants, bars, shopping etc..Also it's 5-6 blocks to a bike renting shop..Igor made sure to put the customer first and to ensure I'd be happy and comfortable. Thanks Igor!
Igor was my first host on AirBnB! Since then, I've stayed with him three more times, and he still continues to impress me with his attentiveness and flexibility. His flat is in a GREAT location, with beautiful views and many bus lines within a short walk. It's far enough from the party section of the Marina to be nice and quiet at night, but still close to everything worth seeing on Chestnut and Union streets. My only caution is that his private room is a bit minimal, but he's incredibly... More »
I stayed in Igor's shared room, which was comfortable enough - traffic from other two rooms was minimal and discrete. Igor was very hospitable, accommodating yet unobtrusive. The place itself is in the one of the best neighborhoods in San Francisco for hip and professional crowd. I had a car and did not have any problems with parking. The view from Marina of the Golden Gate bridge and Marin County is breathtaking. Coffee shops and Safeway supermarket (about 15 min walking distance from... More »
A short walk from plenty of restaurants and the bus stop which was great for our stay in San Fran! Thanks Igor!
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Igor's apartment in the private room + bath. His apartment is in a lovely neighborhood (and there is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge from his roof)! Igor was very helpful giving us recommendations and directions - but he also gave us our privacy. The entire apartment (including our room and bathroom) was sparkling clean and very comfortable. We would definitely go and stay with him again (but we won't need to because we had such a wonderful... More »
The location is great - many bus stops just one or two blocks away taking you to most places in the city; plus, it is a quiet and safe community. The host, Igor, was really helpful - He gave me directions on how to reach his place, to places of interests, and to the airport. The bed, well, it is fine sleeping on it, although incomparable to sleeping on a real one.
Before arriving there Igor was already very helpful. He sent me a very detail plan on how to get there and answered all my questions. The location is very good and you can see Alcatraz from there. Igor kept pretty much to himself but he made sure that everything was all right. I would say that the bed is OK, not uncomfortable at all.
I was in town for a conference and stayed with Igor in his shared room, and it was exactly what I needed! Beautiful morning view, safe & quiet neighborhood, nice restaurants and cafés within walking distance, and solid bus service. Igor was a wonderful guy & a mindful host, and I would definitely recommend him and his place.
My girlfriend and I had a really nice time at Igor's. His place is very well located, close to major bus lines to downtown and in a really nice neighborhood with an awesome view on the Bay. Furthermore, it was really nice to have our own bathroom. Igor is really nice and easy-going and can give you some good tips to enjoy your stay 100%. The only negative thing would be the room that could use some more furniture than just a bed and small table. Really nice stay anyway.
i absolutely LOVED staying at igor's place. the couch was super comfy and he made me feel totally at home. i slept like a rock each night. the area couldn't have been more perfect for a single girl, i felt SUPER safe walking around. i would recommend igor's couch to anyone and i will definitely be back!
Igor, was quick to make sure that we had everything we needed to stay at his place. He was pretty reserved; but made sure that we were taken care of and answered all of our questions about the surrounding areas. The roof top has a great view of the golden gate bridge and alcatrz and is fairly close to a bunch of shops and resturants. The sofa bed isn't the isn't the best but will do.
Igor was buried in a pretty heavy project when I met him but still took the time to make sure I was settled. Mariana and Igor kept to themselves quite a bit, but are very relaxed about arrival times and leaving times etc. Igor is a bit of a culture vulture especially if you're into film - which is great. Apartment was great although the sofa bed a little uncomfortable. Right near chestnut or union for some great food and bars.
I enjoyed staying with Igor. The neighborhood is great, and the view is terrific. The apartment was clean, the pull-out bed was not the flattest I've seen, but still comfortable, I always slept well on it. Igor and his roommate Marina are very nice and friendly. They know the city well so they can recommend some places worth going to, whether it's for going out, or visiting. A good place to stay at for a few nights !
An okay guest, just make sure you are on the same page in terms of meet time, house rules, and other logistics as you would with all guests.
September 2011Igor and family were courteous and gracious guests. He communicated his plans well in advance, and made sure to leave my place nice and neat. It was a pleasure to host them and an honor to be the staging area for his wedding day!
Although Igor & Yulia only stayed for a night before departing their cruise-ship I enjoyed talking to them and answering some questions. Great first impression, very nice people and always welcome for future occasions. Everything was left in order at the apartment, which is something of extreme importance to me. Thanks Igor for the opportunity! Best wishes!
Igor, was a wonderful guest, respectful and friendly. He is always welcome here
There can probably be nothing more valuable to an adventurous traveler to San Francisco than to be able to land at the epicenter of the city alongside a knowledgeable, trustworthy insider, without the sacrifice of convenience, privacy, safety, or access to all the popular landmarks and some of the most breathtaking views of this North California metropolis. This is exactly what you would be getting if you chose to stay at Igor's. Spacious, clean, sunny, and comfortable room/apartment,... More »
April 2009I'm a friend of Igor's and can tell you that you wont be disappointed with him OR his place. Igor is one of the nicest guys I know, and his place is situated in one of the most desirable areas of the city, and close to everything. Further, his place is clean, modern, and roomy. Go and enjoy it. ~Leron
