I just returned from a 4-night stay at the Glen Park cottage and could not be more pleased with my first AirBNB experience. While I can't say that that all hosts/properties could be as accomdating as Carrie, I'd encourage you to check it out!

I was first reluctant to use AirBNB versus a hotel but Carrie was great to answer questions about the cottage and the neighborhood. The cottage itself was great - spacious, clean, bright, and airy. The linens (bed and bath) were fresh and new. Upon check-in, I was thrilled to have chosen the cottage over a traditional hotel!

The best part of Carrie's place, however, is the neighborhood. I feel bad for people who are stuck up near the Wharf or Nob Hill and don't see how pleasant Glen Park is. The nearby village has a great grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, and a fun bar. It is a friendly safe neighborhood that is great to wonder around. The Glen Park BART station provides easy access to SFO, the Mission (just 1 stop away!), and just 20 minutes to downtown. The area is well-served by busses, too, and the Castro and Haight are just a quick ride away.

I'd encourage anyone to put the Glen Park Cottage at the top of your list. Safe travels!
