Scott saved the day after our original Airbnb stay was canceled the night before our arrival. Considering we booked this studio a mere *eight* hours before check-in, my partner and I could not have been more satisfied.

The studio came exactly as described. The photos don't do it justice! It was surprisingly airy with lots of natural light along with a delightful view of Potrero Hill and the bay. It also felt sublimely quiet and peaceful—an excellent place to concentrate on work and recharge our batteries after some grueling flight travel. The Wi-Fi connection was solid.

In addition to the studio being on the top floor, the building felt quite safe. We also enjoyed checking out the roof deck for an extensive view of the city. And I have to highlight the high-quality, in-unit washer and dryer that gave our clothes the TLC they so desperately needed. (You really appreciate a fine laundry machine after you've been hauling your clothes to dingy laundromats for years.)

As former residents of SF, my partner and I love this neighborhood and partly picked Scott's studio because of its prime location. Potrero Hill is one of the few areas in SF that feels like a true neighborhood. There’s a Whole Foods literally around the corner, which you really can't beat. This particular WF had a cafe, beer bar, and eatery that was ridiculously crowded on a Friday night with tech scenesters. Cool!

The apartment is a few blocks from some amazing Potrero restaurants on 18th Street (Plow, Chez Maman), and just a pedestrian bridge away from the Inner Mission, our other favorite neighborhood (Flour + Water, Trick Dog Bar, Universal Cafe, etc.). There are some significant hills in either direction, so be prepared for the walk; alternatively, have the Uber taxi app or a rental car at the ready. I'd recommend the latter, since this studio also came with a dedicated parking garage space (!).

Booking such a last-minute stay isn't without its obstacles, and there were just a couple: the floor wasn't yet vacuumed (but it looked fine) and the cable didn't work. Scott was extremely apologetic and gracious about these minor hang-ups, and gave us a very fair discount on our stay. (And at check-in, he quickly vacuumed the floor with aplomb.) Because he's so busy with work, I found Scott to be extra-laidback but also a trustworthy host. My partner and I are easygoing so it was a good match. Scott rose to the occasion and handled this situation admirably.

All in all, we had an excellent time and would stay here again. Thanks so much, Scott!
