We wrote to the host before making a reservation and informed her we were traveling with a baby and with a friend who has serious back pain. We asked her whether it was ok to come with a baby and how comfortable was the bed in the living room.
She replied it was ok for us to bring our baby and as for as the bed she only told us to look at the reviews. When we arrived we were disappointed to say the least. The neighborhood is more than sketchy. The house is actually surrounded by barbed wire. We had only one towel for three plus a baby. The daybed was not comfortable with no duvet (only a thin blanket) while we paid an extra for a third adult. We wrote to the host, who does not seem to live in the area, at least we never met her. Someone else replied for her to our messages with no understanding at all. We felt like the host was basically only interested in our money. We would have left if we had found another accommodation. But it is difficult to find an accommodation for the same day in the San Francisco area, especially with a baby. We would definitely not recommend the place to our enemies. Our worst airbnb experience by far.
