Thomas was super communicative with us and easy to talk to. He’s very understanding and a great host!
His stay is in a GREAT location. There are lots of great restaurants right outside his door, and the 6/7 Muni bus runs along the street this stay is on, making it super convenient to get anywhere. Market St is also not that far away.
Unfortunately, I cannot, in good faith, recommend this stay. The main thing is that there’s a nightclub directly under this stay, which isn’t disclosed in the listing. Because the stay is in an older building, there is very little sound+vibration insulation. It makes the noise impossible to ignore. My ears physically ached and hurt as I tried to sleep (and I generally have good noise tolerance). On our first night, the club’s music was booming from around 8 or 9pm until 1am.
We had to end our stay here, as Thomas talked with the club owner and found out that there were more night events happening during our stay. It was disappointing because we had to scramble for new lodgings ASAP, when this could have been avoided with some disclosure about the noise in the Airbnb listing. (Apparently, the nightclub events are regular thing, post-COVID. There were also some ear plugs in the room, indicating that disruptive noise is a common occurrence.)
Also, because this is an older building, there is very little thermal insulation. Our room was incredibly cold, and the blankets didn’t really do that much to help. There wasn’t any sign of a heater.
The stay itself also wasn’t “super clean”. I’d have to agree with other reviewers who say that it’s only moderately clean. Anyone sensitive to germs might not feel comfortable here. (I felt like I needed slippers or something to walk around.)
I really wanted to like this stay, especially since Thomas is such a nice guy! I just want to write this review to caution others who might be looking to stay here.
