The pics are better than the resl thing. It's a little run down. Needs a paint job. My biggest issues were the 2nd bedroom was creepy and had a small bed that looked like it came from a mental institution. My 12 year old normally brave child refused to sleep in the room and slept on the couch. That bed is also terribly uncomfortable.
The large bedroom is comfortable but is in desperate beed of better lught control- very, very bright early if you want to sleep in. It is pretty quiet, just the bus.
The neighborhood is safe, but parking is NOT easy. The hosts were gracious and responsive and let us park in front of a garage, which solved the problem.
This is not a place to stay if you have an elderly parent, health issue or are out of shape. The Castro is down a VERY large hill, plus the stairs to reach the entey plus more stairs to reach the space. You have to not have issues to stay here.
I like the hosts' responsiveness but disliked hiw blantantly obvious this that this is rental income. The garbage lid was broken, the fridge is difficult tomopen, it needs a paint job. It feels a bit run down, but I still would have given it a good review were it not for that horrible useless 2nd "bedroom". If you have kids, AVOID.
