Sylvia is the gold standard of Airbnb hosts!! And the space is excellent. I would TOTALLY stay at Lands End Retreat again.
The space is comfortable and well-appointed, with a kitchen table, a desk, and an armchair that I wish I could have brought back home with me. The bed is very comfortable. Reading lamps and task lights are everywhere. There were two of us--my adult daughter and myself--and we had plenty of room.
It's overflowing with unexpected amenities, such as beach towels and blankets for use on picnics; books about the area; coffee and tea, of course, and also cold, bottled water, bananas, and a variety of protein bars. It's located a stone's throw from the ocean and the walking paths in Lands End. And it's very, very quiet.
Then there's Sylvia! She lives upstairs and can be heard moving around a bit--in a comfy, homey manner--and she responds to communications quickly. She left brownies outside our door the first night, and scones the morning we departed. She allowed us to keep our luggage locked up safely in her outer room after we checked out. I had inadvertently left a drawerful of clothing behind; she collected it for me and made it easy for me to swing by and collect.
I hope to be able to stay at Sylvia's Airbnb next time I visit San Francisco.
