This was my first experience with Airbnb and my girlfriend and I had a great stay at Susie and Eoin's place in San Francisco.

Prior to arrival, Susie reached out with information about the area and the check-in process so we knew exactly what to do and where to find things once we arrived. Their place in the Mission is only about 20 minutes from SFO via Uber and when we arrived we found a clean, welcoming home that matched our expectations from the listing. The room we stayed in was very clean, and our hosts had printed out copies of the welcome/house information and laid out fresh towels for us. We didn't make much use of the rest of the home (we spent 95% of our waking hours out and about exploring SF!), but the kitchen and living room had all of the basic amenities of home and we felt very comfortable there during our stay. We could hear the upstairs neighbors occasionally, but after 9PM everything quieted down and we never had any trouble getting a peaceful night's sleep.

The neighborhood was very residential for the most part and though I wouldn't recommend being out on 24th Street after 9PM, we felt very safe and thoroughly enjoyed every part of our stay in Susie and Eoin's neighborhood during our trip. There are a lot more shops and TONS of great food a few blocks up on Mission Street and Valencia Street, but be prepared to walk - this is definitely no small East Coast city! Dolores Park was also a great place to hang out near their home and Bernal Heights was nearby as well.

We didn't make use of the public transportation when we were in town, but at most it took 5 minutes to get an Uber from their place. Also, the Giants were in town during our weekend stay so we did hit some pretty bad traffic going to/from the Mission around gametime, but otherwise Susie and Eoin's place was very accessible to the rest of the city.

All in all, we had a really great trip and staying at Susie and Eoin's place helped make that the case. We got to stay in a very non-touristy neighborhood that is full of really fantastic food (all of the recommendations for best sushi/tacos/ramen/fill-in-the-blank-with-your-favorite-food were all in the Mission). I would recommend this listing to anyone visiting who wants a great local experience in the city and loves great food.
