I was not going to write a review and told the host as well. Since she wrote a review, I feel I am obliged to write one too.

The room was as described. I went to San Francisco to take a weeklong class and stayed at Barbara's place for six nights. It was an intense class. On most days I left the house at 6:30am since the class started at 7:30am and won't be back until around 10pm after studying at school. There were two days when I took a shower at night after a long day and took one in the morning. The host complained about me taking one extra shower more than the one daily shower she allowed. She told me that I would not be allowed to take any shower at all the next day. We finally agreed on one shower that day and one shower the next day.

Her concerns are not just about water conservation as posted on Airbnb, but she was mainly concerned about her water bill. She showed me a notice about an increase in charges for water. Of all the airbnb places in San Francisco which have the same water rates, hers is the only one that has the rule of 5-minute shower once a day. She told me she can set any house rules she likes even if she requires all her guests to do an Irish dance and they will have to do it.

I have obliged to her 5-minute shower rule. The first time she said I took longer than five minutes. After that she put a 5-minute sand hourglass timer on the shower wall. If anyone does not want to be restricted to a five-minute shower once a day then they should not stay here.
