Pros:
- Edward is a very friendly and communicative host who strives to make guests have a good experience. He even left tasty fresh fruit on the table.
- Good location in the lovely Noe Valley neighborhood.
- Spacious room. With access to a lovely garden.
Cons:
- I’m surprised to only found one review mentioning this but this place is untidy. We arrived to found many hairs and dander on the bed. Edward was quick to apologize and offered a set of clean washed bedsheets. He also offered to buy new sheets. That I said, overall the room just feels unclean, e.g. the carpet, cups, towels.
- You have to walk through a somewhat messy garage to arrive at the room. It is not a big deal really, but just some information for the next guest.
- Price. We only stayed two nights so including cleaning and other fees it costs ~230 per night. To be honest I can stay in a 3 (or even 4) star hotel with presumably better environment. So admittedly I have the expectations for a room at this price point, and unfortunately this place does not live up to the expectations.
Again, I can tell Edward is a good host who really wants his guest to have a good stay. If it’s for the cleanness and the price I would give a 1 star. Factoring the locations and the friendless of the host, I increase my rating to 3 star. If the cons are ok with you I would say give this place a try.
