Kristen's house is quirky and has a good space for hosting our family for a special occasion in San Francisco. We did have some issues however. It wasn't perfectly clean (leftover food in fridge, grout in lower bath not clean, old razors left in showers). There were bigger issues that we didn't anticipate such as no curtains in bedrooms other than the owners. It is a pretty private setting but still there should be some window coverings for sleeping and privacy to change. No place to store clothes for extended stay since the dressers were full of clothes. Not enough towels for 7 guests (5 provided). The room with the futon (looked old/dirty) had no bedding so we had to search the whole house to find sheets/pillow/blanket to use as a bedroom. Probably should not say there is a private driveway to park one car. Their car is parked in circular drive and is the reason you have to back in. This isn't that big of deal because there is parking on the street and we had no problem finding a space.
The landscaped backyard is so pretty especially for being in the city! The location worked out well with the coffee shops near by, BART, park and not to far from SFO. I must say Kristen is very sweet and responsive!
Overall, we ended up having a nice visit but her place did not meet our expectations. Especially, since it had a 5 star rating?! Needs a bit of updating and better cleaning.
