We recommend staying at David’s!
For us, travelling with two kids (1 and 3 years) the apartment suited our needs. We really loved David’s personality and he was so nice to us, thanks!
Our description:
Inside: Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and all basic products such as flour, olive oil, spices etc. Table seated about 4 persons. Large very nice washer and dryer in the bathroom and a bathtub. No problems finding extra toilet paper/waist bags/detergent etc. The futon in the "extra" room was good enough to sleep on and we slept there five nights one adult and one child without any problems (have tried other futons in other airbnb places -worse!). Note though that this room doesn’t have a door to the hallway (the bedroom does). In the desk they had take-away menus from the area and very useful information about the area and the city. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and there were a large flat screen TV in this room. They also had a pack-n-play (which for Swedish readers is the same thing as a “resesäng” for infants).
Outside: The entrance from the street was private and nice but an unexpected bonus was the back (exit from kitchen). This was a small unfurnished yard (no grass though but perfect for kids anyway). It was totally isolated from the street thereby we didn’t need to worry about them running out. The street was very quiet, we were surprised of how quiet, and we could tell because we were up at night because of the jetlag almost every night! Safeway (grocery’s) are two blocks away. Not the cheapest place but they seemed to have a large share of the SF market, everywhere is Safeway!
The apartment was very close to the park, we walked there easily with our big trolley and the kids, at least four times (walkable distance to America’s first playground). We had a rental car and thereby we didn’t go by bus during our stay. Parking was fairly easy to find (we used the car every day) and free.
A big plus (now after staying in different airbnb places we can see this) with this place was that in this place there were no old food in the fridge, old soaps in the bathtub, not packed with clothing in the wardrobes, no personal items in the bathroom etc. The storage spaces were clean and empty.
And of course there is the ever so helpful and fun David!
