Uli communicated quickly and very well, as was accommodating toward me when I asked to check in early.
Check in was as easy as he said it would be and I wasn't bothered with any inconveniences.
The pictures of the room did mislead me a bit as I wasn't expecting anything quite as old as it was (but I suppose that just may be most houses in this area of SF). It was slightly noisy as the room is below the main residence and the floor creaked pretty good(!)
No cable, or tv stations for that matter, really bothered me as well as a few other things; old towels, no good heater (it is winter time afterall) rickety locks and door handles...and maybe the most bothersome thing was that there were what appeared to be cameras mounted on the ceiling.
If you're not too picky and dont expect even 3-star accommodations this place may be ok. Not worth more that $100/night in my opinion though.
