Emily's place was amazing! She was a great host with promptly getting back to me to get the reservation set up, and following up to make sure I could find the place along with instructions on how to get in (she was travelling during my stay). The house itself is really nice. Modern, spacious, and plenty of natural light with awesome hardwood floors. Amazing view of the city/bay bridge (seems like you're at one of the higher points in SF here), and a cute little park right across the street visible from a big windows in family room. It was also very clean--the cleaning folks where there right before I arrived. The location is awesome. If you want to be in the middle of the 'hussle bussle' touristy area of the city, this is not the place for you. However, if you want to be in a real SF neighborhood with awesome little boutiques, cafes, etc-this is the place. This is where I would live if I lived in SF. It's just right--clean, safe and chill. Short cab ride, bus ride, or bike ride to downtown (a couple bus lines go right by the house). Didn't get to meet Emily since she was out of town, but hope to in the future. Even the other person staying there (who I saw/chatted with for a few minutes before she left) had nothing but nice things to say about Emily. I'll stay here again on my next trip to SF if I'm welcome!
