The host met us when we arrived although we were later than we expected due to busy bay area traffic. He was pretty casual, made us feel welcome. He and his wife live upstairs, we did not see them again during our stay. We also got the feeling that they did not want to be bothered much, which was fine with us. The apartment was clean. The apartment description was pretty accurate although it has been in use for some time and could use some updating. It is near golden gate park, which worked fine for us, since we have two young kids we were interested in California academy of science and the playgrounds nearby. It is some distance from fisherman's wharf, exploratorium and nearby touristy areas near downtown. We were able to find parking (with some search) nearby. The area is also generally cooler than downtown and heating was necessary in June. One annoying thing was that the heater would turn itself down periodically. I understand that the host does not want it to be on while guests are out but there needs to be a better solution than automatically turning it off to 60s. The apartment is ground level and was pretty cool. The promised exploratorium tickets were not available. One glitch, we are getting messages from Airbnb saying that we owe Airbnb $59. We paid the apartment fee full, so we have no idea what this is about. The host told us that he got paid in full. Our emails to Airbnb did not receive a response.
