First I must admit I was surprised it wasn't the entire home. I'm sure that was an error on our part so read and review carefully. With that aside, Melanie was a great host! She's personable and welcoming. I enjoyed the Expresso's in the morning and granola. She was very helpful in offering tips and we did them all making our trip nice! Cons: Her neighbors live upstairs so you hear them pretty clear since we got the warning it wasn't horrible. I have to say it was a GREAT value and while it wasn't intended to have a private room we didn't mind. I will say she had a nice surprise for us since it was our anniversary. Thank you again Melanie! If your on a budget and want to have a nice experience in San Francisco just book her place! It's easy to use public transportation, close to the coast and you can walk to a nice restaurant in great weather.
