Michael and Nicole's place is located in a beautiful area on top of the hill. Just a short walk away from city view, great coffee and food. A great neighbourhood to simply walk around and enjoy the architecture.
The basement room they offer is clean and tidy with basic amenities. They provide coffee and tea in your room but you don't have access to the kitchen. Along with hot showers, good internet, Michael kindly let us use the laundry machine which we really appreciate. The separate entrance and back garden access makes it feel private. Due to the nature of the basement it is prone to noise from above or laundry room, although they were mindful and kept it minimal at night, it's not for light-sleepers who want to sleep in.
Another thing to note is that they don't accept keeping your luggage before check in or after check out which we didn't realise until we made our bookings. Although we understand it, we wish we knew this before to find something more suitable and accommodate late flight time with early checkout- carrying a month worth of stuff up Bernal heights wasn't the most ideal way to spend our last day in SF!
