We had a great experience at Ashley's apartment. We (my husband, our two kids 9 yo and 6 yo, and myself) traveled from East Coast. So by the time we arrived, we were exhausted and wanted to go to bed at 7 pm. It was great that we were welcomed with fresh flowers on the table, fresh fruits, bagels, cream cheese, OJ's and everything we needed for the next morning. The apartment is spacious, with 2BR. Both beds are good size and very comfortable. Our kids loved the proximity to the golden gate park, we loved the proximity to good, authentic international food. There are many hip restaurants, too. It reminded us of Park Slope Brooklyn about 10 years ago when it was gentrified but still mixed with interesting cultural mix. The apartment is located so close to the public transportation. It has a real nice yard with table and chairs, too- but we did not get to enjoy it, because we had so many places to visit. Only regret is that we stayed only for 3 nights. We wish we could stay longer! Kitchen is spacious and had everything we needed so when kids were too tired to go out for dinner, we could make full dinner for them.
We initially thought about staying in a chain hotel in a touristic area. We are so glad we found Ashley's place on Air BnB. It makes a huge difference when you get to feel like you are one of the resident, in an interesting and fun area, with tons of restaurants to choose from right around the corner!
