Jaysa was an excellent host. She was responsive to all questions and inquiries, which really were few.
Her home is charming and beautifully remodeled, with all creature comforts a traveler would need or expect. She is thoughtful and well organized. All the accoutrements (linens, kitchen equipment, etc.) are top of the line. We felt we were in a boutique hotel. Just lovely.
We used the kitchen, including the Cuisinart, for some light cooking.
We had another couple visiting from Philadelphia sharing the space for a week. We were in San Francisco, where we used to live, to be with family and friends. We especially enjoyed using the dining room with its large table to play games. Jaysa thoughtfully had a basket of games waiting for us.
One of the best aspects of Jaysa's home is its neighborhood, Bernal Heights. We could easily walk to its many excellent and charming restaurants, shops and the independent grocer nearby, which carries organic produce. Bernal Heights reminds us of "old" San Francisco, before the invasion of high rise condos in SOMA and elsewhere. It's an experience visitors will enjoy. Our Philadelphia friends certainly did. They'd both been graduate students at UC Berkeley in the '60s, and hadn't spent much time in San Francisco.
Marion, my wife, generally has booked with Aribnb. She concurs with me that Jaysa's home is superior in every way. One problem we've had with other rentals has been no room for our clothes and other belongings. Jaysa thoughtfully provided an armoire and tall dresser in the master bedroom. Our friends' bedroom had an empty closet with plenty of hangers. Both bathrooms had all modern fittings, and plenty of towels.
The home was spotlessly clean and inviting.
I enjoyed relaxing in the reading nook with my crossword puzzles.
Access with the lockbox was simple and easy.
The wifi was speedy.
There was always a parking space, also access to the garage for the Prius we were using.
There is a charming patio and window boxes.
Jaysa's home is new to Airbnb, and is a most welcome addition to its listings.
