My boyfriend and I stayed at Ava’s accommodation in February. We found the place to be adequate, good for travellers who wants a quiet retreat, only 8-10 mins walk to the BART station.
Pros:
-Walking distance to BART (train), then approx 5 mins to powell st via BART
-Washing machine and dryer available to use
-Spacious room for a couple
-Fridge and microwave available, with small dining table for 2.
-Space heater provided.
Cons-
- Some may not be bothered by this but there was no TV.
- The room and ensuite bathroom was like a shack. The quality of the place was not what we expected from the pictures and certainly for the price. The bathroom had no proper window so it was very cold in there, no insulation at all. Might be ok in the summer but it was very uncomfortable in the winter.
-Received little to no response from the host regarding our questions and needs on the airbnb chat. Although, she does answer if you call her on mobile (bit annoying for international guests who don’t have US mobile. We ended up getting charged for calls, couldve been avoided if host was more responsive on chat) Host seems to send only automated messages? Although, the second host Nico responds to our needs.
Otherwise, we had a good stay, the location is great since walking-distance to the BART and the place was clean.
