I lived in SF 4 years prior to returning and staying at Melissa and Nicole's "in-law suite". I had a few reasons for choosing them:
1. I used to live in SF, I did not want to be a tourist in a hotel...and almost all hotels are in touristy areas.
2. The price! Extremely affordable by comparison to hotels
3. I have Cystic Fibrosis and they offered a refrigerator for my medications
4. While a cozy space, everything is done very tastefully and it really is all you need!
It also gave me a couple of things I did not expect, for example...we ended up getting engaged right before check in, so when we walked into the common (yet very separate) area they greeted us and screamed and yelled with joy over our milestone. We love children and spoke with their sweet daughter for a bit. And while this initial greeting was intimate and kind, they gave us our space.
If you are at all skeptical of an AirBnB experience, Melissa and Nicole are immensely trustworthy, kind, and willing to help you if needed. A five star experience!
