Location is perfect IMHO, a block from Dolores Park, close enough to the 16th st. BART to walk, amazing food in the mission, all really close. And her place is situated on a quiet street and away from the road as well.
Outstanding hospitality, great conversation, while giving guests "space" as well. And well, then there's Thriller the cat. This little guy was my welcome committee, friendly as all hell for a cat, so expect plenty of free snuggles. I also had a very nice hand-written note from Joy, along with a some water, and the light left on for us. Check-in was really easy. I came in late and was able to use the lockbox to let myself in. And check-out was just as non-fussy. She also suggested to us a great walking route to see little bit of a lot in that neighborhood and just around, along with small local tips that helped.
Place is really clean and really nice. I think better than the pictures in the listing. Great comfy bed, sheets, blankets,... all that. Bathroom was just across hall and to slight left. Really nice, most every basic thing you might need just in case. Good water pressure...if that's a thing in these parts. Came with keys, including to your bedroom door, was able to watch a little TV in the living room when I arrived, and the kitchen is always ready for use. I woulda used it, but there's just too much amazing food around the street corners.
