Carl's place is situated in Bernal Heights, edging into the Mission. It's a residential zone up a hill and it has a cozy quality with a beautiful Victorian facade. I liked the coziness of the space, the fact that it was free-standing and the convenience to the Mission. The kitchen and dining room were, for me, the best parts. I like to make at least one meal a day when I travel...and the kitchen allowed me to enjoy the produce from the fancy stores and farmer's markets in the area!
One thing to consider if you have mobility issues: The front steps are quite steep, so people who have mobility issues might want to think hard about the Airbnb. This did not affect me but I have family members with disabilities...so I always like to warn people who are planning trips for a group.
I would recommend this place to others and would definitely use it again when in town.
