Beautifully Simple and Elegant With Exceptional Host
Our stay was peaceful and perfectly ideal for our needs. Mike (the host) is a steward of this simple yet elegant property. We would gladly stay here whenever possible.
My partner and I came from Fresno. We were vendors at the SF Pride Celebration this year and needed a nice little spot that was somewhat close to the venue with free accessible parking. This was perfect! Unfortunately a few weeks leading up to our stay, my partner suffered an injury and we thought we would have to cancel, but the owner was beyond kind enough to allow special accommodations in order for us to be able to keep our reservation. We were so beyond appreciative! Great communication, the property itself was exactly what we were looking for, and it was very comfortable. We would totally recommend this place and would definitely stay again in the future! :)
My husband and I spent the weekend in SF and stayed in this cute little studio space. Access to public transport was so convenient and there are several good places to eat within walking distance. The owners were friendly and responsive. The space was clean and met all of our needs. Definitely recommend!
The property was as advertised and although compact, it did have everything we needed. Check in was easy. The property is in the middle of a suburban area so not close to any attractions, but the area is lovely and you can get anywhere you want easily by public transport. If you donât mind walking (we were quite happy) there is a good Safeway store about 20 minutes walk away, or an upmarket and expensive one close by. Overall a lovely place to stay.
We were able to explore San Francisco, visit the Napa Valley, discover Alcatraz and spend some time at the Beach, all from this cozy little condo. We loved the place as well as the neighborhood. Easy to park in the streets.
Great Value, Great Location, Take note of a couple things...
Great value! Location was great for a muni station, neighborhood is residential and quiet. Would I stay here again? Maybe... listing says lots of parking which is true, but you have to move your car once during the day or risk a ticket (did not say in listing) so that changed our plans of leaving the rental car there all day. No coffee was provided but there's a coffee maker... bring your own coffee grounds I guess but didn't know this in advance. Biggest issue we had was with the toddler upstairs running around at 7am... right above the bedroom we were sleeping. When going on vacation, you want to sleep in but we couldn't, and waking up early with no coffee made me grumpy.
Studio perfect for the trip. Very clean and completely as described. It is a quite neighbor but close enough to public transportation or short Uber rides to everything around.
Michaelâs studio was a great base for exploring the city, close to public transport links and in a quiet residential area. He kindly allowed us to leave luggage the day we were leaving until later that afternoon which was incredibly helpful
It was mostly fine, except that the host needs to tell guests that they have a rambunctious young boy upstairs with them, who started running around the house and making a racket at 5:20 AM!!! on Sunday morning. And it kept going on and off for two hours.There was no sleeping through it. Downstairs, in the VRBO unit we were in, you can hear every single footstep, conversation and all the banging and running of a small child, in the hosts home, which was directly above us.Guests should know about this in advance, so they can decide if they want to be able to sleep while on their vacation.
It is a small apartment in the basement with a very small bathroom.
I think the pictures in the ad do not quite correspond to the truth.
Otherwise the location is great, it is quiet and safe.
The studio had everything you need to be happy, a nice big bed and fridge a comfy couch and even entertainment. The next metro station is a 5 minute walk away and takes you to all the major stops in the city in the manner of 10-15 minutes. There are also ample spots to eat close to the studio (burger, french, dumplings) and also a really nice supermarket (mollie stones).
Comfortable enough, accessible to everything, easy check in and check out process. The sofa folds out to a twin bed; we didnât figure that out until the second night. Shower water pressure is low but doable. Host makes it clear that you arenât paying for a cleaning service so we werenât surprised the countertop was a little stickyâthat might be an issue for some but, at this price, no biggie for us. Thanks for the accommodations đ
The host was very friendly and responsive. The location was perfect and the check in process was smooth.
Some negatives I have are the apartment smelt wierd. Im not sure what the smell was but there was something nasty smelling. The carpet was quite dirty and could do with a deep clean. The furniture was quite old, the bed and sofa creaked and the bed sank in the middle. Also, the bed is advertised as a king size bed but was only double size. The apartment is in the basement of a house so it lacked daylight. Lastly, the people that lived in the upstairs apartment were noisy.
Overall, the stay was ok, I would recommend this place to stay because of the location and friendliness of the host. The apartment could do with a deep clean to remove the pungent smell and the furniture could be upgraded.
There was different furniture than what was listed in the ad. The carpet was filthy.
Mildew on every window sill and mold/mildew on silk flowers that were in the windows.
The entire apartment smelled of rancid sponge the entire stay because the kitchen area was given a good once over with a rancid sponge prior to our arrival...very uncool.
Greasy stove top, dusty fridge top, crusty toaster, piss in toilet upon arrival, hair on bathroom floor...FILTHY apartment. Oh, and no window coverings on bedroom window...nice. Cleaning fee was too much for the size of the space, and yeah....filthy af.
Als erfahrene Reisende kann ich die Unterkunft als eine gute Ăbernachtungsgelegenheit mit gutem PreisleistungsverhĂ€ltnis bezeichnen. Saubere Unterkunft, bequemes Bett, Fernseher, funktionierende KĂŒche, A/C. Mit Bahn ist man schnell in der Innenstadt von SF.
