This was my first experience with Airbnb and it was completely positive. The apartment is spacious, spotless, full of light, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped with pretty much everything you might need (including little touches like SF guides, Woolite for washing, a big tote for shopping, etc.). The bed was exceptionally comfortable. I found Holly’s notebook with tips on local restaurants and stores very helpful, along with a decorative wall hanging with a graphic of the neighborhood pinpointing all the Muni lines. The garden with a grapefruit tree and flowers, which I had all to myself, was a treat. A big asset for me was the landline phone with unlimited domestic calling, since I didn’t bring a cell — very few Airbnb’s in SF have this feature. Really, Holly seems to have thought of everything!

The location is perfect — at the end of Pierce Street by beautiful Duboce Park, thus, little traffic and totally quiet at night. There was the pattering of little feet in the mornings along with occasional squeals, but I thought that was fun, a nice homey touch and I was up anyway. The neighborhood is classic S.F., easy walking distance to all points, convenient to trams and trains. As a health nut, I was glad to have several healthfood stores, including a huge new Whole Foods, just a few blocks away. All in all, I really enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend it!
