This was the first time we had stayed at an Airbnb for a month. Due to C19 we had decided to escape the cold of Michigan and spend the winter in California. This was our first of 3 destinations.
We had no idea what to expect with the space as it was being re-designed prior to arrival! It ended up being so much better. The Scandinavian design and the little details being added to the space during and after our departure are very well thought out.
It has everything you could possibly need for an extended stay and felt like home from day 1.
The kitchen was great for home cooked meals. The beds were comfortable. The living room was too cozy for watching movies as I fell asleep on the couch every night.
There is a market within walking distance that was perfect for grabbing groceries, some amazing pizza take out spots, Noe Valley farmers market walkable from the Annex. Just a short 15-20 minute walk up the hill to see some amazing views I’d the city.
We brought our golden retriever along with us and he is already missing San Francisco. Dolores Park is directly across the street. Mornings are quite and people gather there with their dogs to play off leash together. There’s also some really great hikes and beaches nearby that made his visit epic!
The location is perfect for everything you would want and need. We felt safe and it was generally quiet. The garage was perfect to park in. We have a midsize suv. Anything much bigger might have an issue.
We brought our road bikes along, and the location is perfect to set out right from the Annex for 20,50,75 mile rides!
The neighbors above and below us in the building were super friendly and also helpful with location tips and bike rides for us to go on.
The back garden area/grill is shared. But that was not an issue for us at all during our stay. We rarely ran into one another. Because the neighbors are so nice it would have been fun to hang out down there. Obviously once Covid is no longer an issue of course.
The Annex truly made us gain a completely new outlook of San Francisco and we can not wait to be back.
Hosts Rob and Patti were super helpful, thoughtful, very responsive, caring and kind. We would recommend staying in any of there Airbnb’s!
