I chose Patrick's Airbnb over other options located in trendier neighborhoods for around the same price because of the rave reviews left by a multitude of previous guests.
I needed a place that was safe, convenient, private and would be an easy commute to the financial district. What I found at Patrick's apartment in Inner Richmond was all of those things and so much more.
The space is exceedingly clean and very well maintained, with pretty sea green walls and smartly chosen furniture. Comfy beds, bedroom/bathroom storage, reliable wifi, a Keurig machine and too many fluffy towels to count are among the amenities that will make you feel at home. Longer-stay guests will love the convenience of the brand new Safeway and the laundry mat, located just steps away from your front door.
During the month that I stayed here, I had zero issues getting to FiDi or Union Square because public transportation is reliable and Lyft is always there as a backup. Inner Richmond is a lovely neighborhood that's very safe and quiet with a good sense of community. As someone who was brand new to the city, I appreciated how it gave me the only aspects of suburban life I liked (safety, quiet) in a big new city environment.
Finally, Patrick is genuinely the best of Airbnb hosts -- kind, respectful, knowledgable and reliable. He's responsive and easy to talk to, so don't hesitate to ask ​for tips about the city because he's full of great insights.
I sincerely cannot say enough nice things about my stay. There's a reason why so many guests give glowing reviews -- this place is a rare find on Airbnb and worthy of all the praise!
