Stop looking! This was our first airbnb experience and was absolutely amazing. Brett is a great host, he went out of his way to make our stay easy. We travelled with an 18mth old from Australia and were so pleased to have found such a gem. The apartment is exactly as you see in the pictures, it has everything you could want including full kitchen with cupboards full of appliances etc.

The location was excellent, the Mission was recommended to us by a local and did not disappoint. Foodies heaven! Plus a huge park around the corner, perfect for families. Staying here really feels like living in San Fran, you are so far away from tourists that it was quite a shock to us when we visited Pier 39 and encountered so many of them! It is a bit further away from the big attractions (which is good in lots of ways but does mean it is a bit further to get to them) but taxis are cheap and everywhere, only tend to be 10 minutes to anything major, plus the bus is close and takes you straight downtown, although obviously takes longer.

We didn't have any issues, and Brett was easily contactable for any questions (including odd ones such as where is a good hairdresser!). We really appreciated the huge washer and drier since we had already been travelling for a week. We didn't have mobile reception in the apartment but could get it in the courtyard, and by all accounts it was probably our T-mobile sim card (we've since heard AT&T is better).

The Mission is full of amazing restaurants, Bi-Rite grocery which gave us the best tasting produce we've ever had, and really interesting little stores. We highly recommend both the area and this particular apartment and will be sending all our Australian friends. Thanks so much Brett!
