I highly recommend staying at Miriam's place. It was my and my girlfriend's first AirBnB experience and what an excellent way to start. Miriam's place is beautiful, clean, and in an excellent part of San Francisco to really get the feel for the city outside downtown and the wharf. Her instructions for entry, communication, and help are always clear, concise, and immediate. While Miriam very much allows her guests their privacy, she is nonetheless very available. Would definitely stay there again.
