This location is excellent. It is very clean, the host is responsive, and it has a comfortable bed. What else do you really need?
And it has many extras. There's a skylight in the bathroom, and the shades block out the light completely if you want to sleep in past dawn. The neighborhood is quiet.
A few small flaws don't put me off of 5 stars at all.
* The host asks you to put your shoes in a closet, but that wasn't clear when I entered at night.
* The work table in the room is height adjustable, but only if you understand how to do that, and you'll need to plug in the table.
* If you're going to buy generic art from Target for the room, maybe take off the sales sticker.
* The door needs hooks to hang clothing
* The toilet is tiny and the sink is at a short height
* The Airbnb is on the 2nd floor with narrow stairs, but it's like that everywhere in hilly San Franciso.
Finally, I was delighted that the room has a luggage rack. If you're an Airbnb host, the best way to avoid bedbugs is to discourage guests from putting their luggage on the bed. It's that simple. My advice: take the luggage rack out of the closet before guests arrive, so they don't miss it.
A full 5 stars for great location, which is inexpensive, making it a great value and rare find.
