I enjoyed my stay here. I come to SF for work a lot, and these types of units are perfect for me. Gorgeous patio off the back, and a super friendly dog who came down to visit a few times.
The unit is comfortably furnished — I didn’t do any cooking, but it definitely seemed like all of the necessities for cooking were available.
The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and I particularly appreciated the size of the shower.
My 2 issues were:
1) There is a $25 charge for those who arrive after 9 pm; and $50 for those who arrive after 11 pm. This is because the owner uses a 3rd party vendor (GuestHop), and that group wants to do a short “orientation” with the guests upon arrival. This is a wonderful thought and gesture for the guest — however, the late charge just seems punitive to those who aren’t able to arrive by 9 pm OR god forbid something goes wrong with their travel and their arrival is delayed.
The good news is that I requested that the orientation take place the following afternoon, and that worked out just fine. Also, the notification of this charge is listed at the end of the House Rules, and I think that something like this needs to spelled out either in the main description of the unit, OR at the very top of the House Rules.
2) The owners live above, and the sounds of their “living noise”, and footsteps in particular, are sometimes deafeningly loud. I actually wondered, at times, if they were stomping heavily on purpose (even though I know they weren’t). I shared this info with Paul in my review, too, because it can be really offputting...I want to come home from a long day of work, relax with a glass of wine and a Netflix...and hearing that level of “living noise” just wasn’t conducive to that scene.
