Praise is a lovely host. She tried to help me book a Rinse pick-up (couldn’t in the end as doesn’t accept non-US cards) and gave lots of tips for local places to eat nearby in particular.
In terms of location, while central (you can walk most places in 30-45 mins albeit prepare for some hills!) the area is not great, particularly if you’re a solo female traveller, and if I came to SF again I would definitely stay in a different part of town. There are a lot of homeless folk around 16th St/Mission and it smells awful. Which means if you’re coming back after dark, you are committed to taking cabs. Valencia Street however is worth visiting whether you stay here or not (lots of cool eateries, coffee houses and shops).
Lastly, while not a criticism of the (renting) hosts, the whole apartment feels like it could really benefit from a deep-clean!
Lastly, bring an eye-mask if you are sensitive to light at night. The curtains in the bedroom are pretty much completely translucent.
