Je and Derren's room is in a great location, has solid amenities, and is good value for the price. Would recommend to anyone travelling or looking to find their footing in SF for a month or so.
I stayed here as a solo traveller in Nov/Dec, and there were a couple of things I wish I knew beforehand:
- This is a room in a 4 bedroom ground floor suite with a family staying upstairs, so noise is inevitable. If you're a light sleeper and sleep early, wake up late, or take naps, you may benefit from earplugs.
- There were way more amenities than I was expecting! I brought my own toothbrush and tooth paste, but everything else was provided. Laundry detergent was provided, and even the room had masks and hand sanitizer ready to go.
- Derren is a super helpful, friendly, and communicative host! He was able to provide me a reference for long term housing in the city, and helped me out with a lost package.
- During the rainy season, one of the bathroom trash bins had a bit of an ants problem, but I wasn't sure if trash/bathroom was a shared house responsibility. Looking back, I should have been more proactive about contacting Derren.
