Besides being right along the #5 bus line, this charming three-story Victorian is right around the corner from dozens of ethnic restaurants, organic grocery stores, and creative boutiques along Divisadero St. Better yet, Susan was my all-time favorite Airbnb host, creating a warm, welcoming, and communal environment for her two tenants (students of dance) and Airbnb guests. Upon my arrival, she gave me a tour of my little room with comfy twin sized bed and (down the hall) shared areas: two toilets; shower with sink; modern kitchen (including self-serve breakfast); living room with bookcases, art from around the world, table for dining with a view of the city; and lovely garden. When I arrived ill-prepared for the chilly, drizzly weather, Susan offered me her coat and umbrella, ever-alert to ways in which she could make her guests’ stay more enjoyable while respecting our varying needs for privacy. Ordinarily reclusive, I greatly enjoyed talking with Susan. 84-years-young, she seemed to be able to connect in meaningful ways with whomever crossed her path.
