This was my first time using airbnb so me and my husband are delighted with results. The place has delivered on all descriptions and pictures listed on the site. It was actually turned out even better than the pictures. We were looking for some peace and quiet and that exactly what we found. The place in on the quite street and it’s cozy and clean and spacious and with great views. So it was absolutely lovely to have breakfast on the deck browsing through magazines.

At the moment, the room featured here is occupied but we were lucky that Cathryn was travelling at the time we visited San Francisco and let us staying her room. So you could try your luck as well. Carthryn is very quick to respond to emails and her roommate was very friendly and hospitable.

The neighborhood is vibrant color-wise and residents-wise so it’s great to hang out right there. But if you must get to downtown, it’s easily reachable by BART or MUNI T-line or just walking. It’s a long but exciting walk: first day we covered Potrero to Mission to Castro, hiked all the way up in Buena Vista Park, walk around Haight Ashbury and eventually ended up on Alamo Square. The point being staying away from downtown encourages you to explore off beat path. Totally recommend it.
