Upon arrival we were a little lost not knowing that the home was on top of a business clothing store, but we found it thanks to Greg. Unfortunately we didn't meet Irina but Greg was a great host who greeted us and gave us the tour of the home. The home is located in North Beach so at night time you will hear crowds walking by, but you'll have easy access to coffee shops, food spots, and mini markets as well which was a great bonus since they were all within 5-10 minute walking distance. Parking was a problem for us since you will have to feed a meter every 2 hours until 6pm which is when it's free, no permit was given to us for the stay. Also be very careful about the signs we got two street sweeping tickets...$68 per.

The home is a little outdated but wasn't a problem for us. The room was well kept and very clean. The room does not look like the photo posted, it's actually a lot better in my opinion (approximately a 2 star hotel rating type of feel). Also keep in mind that you will be sharing one restroom with Greg, Irina, and whomever is staying in the other room through Air BNB. Greg also supplied us with tissues, towels, box of maps and spots in SF, lotion, and other toiletries. Iron and blow dryer was also provided to share in the house.

One issue we had was the communication. We left calls/ messages a week prior to our stay, and several times throughout the week to figure out any parking or accommodations we needed to be aware of, but we didn't get a call back til the day of check in at 8 am... we were still at Big Sur Camping..no reception.

Overall this was the perfect spot for us since it was in the middle of all our go to tourist spots: Alcatraz, fisherman's wharf, China Town, and union square. To stay at this location at this price it was perfect. Thank you so much Greg! Loved our stay.
