Toby and Joe were AMAZING hosts. They were very prompt in responding, and honest and upfront about their expectations. My boyfriend and I were travelling to SF by car, and T&J were very accommodating as to the arrival time. When we arrived, they were warm and welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed to be cozy. They are quite well stocked, and have thought of any amenity you could need. They even gave us some postcards and gifts of their artwork, which have been a hit with my lab mates and pals!

The garden cottage was adorable! The whole outdoor area which they leave aside for Airbnb guests was simply phenomenal. One of my favorite parts of my vacation was having tea and delicious bread in the garden for breakfast!

Toby and Joe are filled to the brim with joy, and it shows in their demeanor and the attitude of the house. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them in the mornings and evenings, and learning about the local quirks of SF. They directed us to many a fun and hidden gem of the city. In the home, they gave us privacy, but were always available if we needed or forgot something. The parking was straightfoward and the location is near enough to downtown that you can easily access it, but far away enough to avoid excessive noise and traffic. All in all, I could not have asked for a better first Airbnb experience!! Thank you, Toby and Joe, for everything!!

A couple things I thought people should consider:
1) They have a bathtub for guests--no shower. I did not mind at all, but I think perhaps some people would
2) There is no bathroom in the cottage itself--you have to walk across the garden and into the garage. Again, I did not mind in the least (in fact, I kinda liked it!), but some folks might not.
3) The curtains to the cottage let light in early. I am an early riser, so it didn't bother me in the least, but if you like to sleep in, perhaps consider asking for a heavier curtain to leave the light out.

To summarise, my experience with Toby and Joe was fantastic--they were attentive and friendly hosts, and the garden cottage was straight out of a novel! I would highly recommend for anybody traveling through SF!!
