While I enjoyed my stay because of the lively neighborhood and location, I felt that the photos slightly misrepresented the room which was quite a bit smaller and more crowded than I had anticipated. I did love Stanza Cafe right next door and the common area was pretty cool. Also the location on Haight Street and 2 blocks off the panhandle was a unique experience.
I had never stayed in an Airbnb where I saw no host the whole time — I was actually impressed at first by the check-in efficiency but then the first night my phone ran out of battery and I didn’t have the codes written down (my fault!) or know how to get let in without them. I had expected more of a community and people around based on the description, but actually never saw anyone at all. Some of these things left me disappointed in my stay given the price and that I had higher expectations because of the photos in the listing.
