The Hosts: Friendly, open communication and serious attention to detail are two of many of Beth and Frank's outstanding host traits. Before we got there, Beth sent us phenomenally laid out directions for getting there, check in/check out instructions, interesting tidbits about their place (specifically about their cute pup, Jackie :) ), and useful tips on parking. When we had a couple of questions about where the main light switch for the kitchen was (hint: as soon as you walk in to the corridor with the movies it's on your left above the fire hydrant), we knocked on their front door and they happily answered our questions. As our two day stay continued, they would always wave hello as they saw us out and about.
The Space: Quirky and wonderful! It was definitely one of the homier feeling AirBnB's that we stayed in during our 10 day road trip! The suite is easy to access from the street, the main room with comfy couches, pleasant kitchen space, and luxurious bed is warm and welcoming. The apartment was clean and well organized. The bathroom was perfectly spacious and the shower was deceptively powerful!
The Hood: When they say 8 blocks from the beach they mean it! We were able to go on a morning run down the sea wall to the Sutro Baths that led us on a stunningly gorgeous trail to Land's End, which gives you a hauntingly beautiful view of the Golden Gate bridge. The beach area that Frank and Beth are near was clean and minimally populated, which was a treat when compared to the beach bustle of LA. There's also a Safeway conveniently down Fulton that you can get tasty juices at before you hit the surf. When it comes to getting to the night life, Haight Ashbury, Mission, and Market Street areas it is totally worth it to park your car near Frank and Beth's on Fulton and take a lyft to the other side of town. It saved us so much money since parking on the opposite side of the city is exorbitantly pricey.
Beth and Frank's lovely in-law suite was such a positive home away from home experience for us! We can't wait to come back and highly recommend this spot to any others coming to the SF area.
