Such a fun and classic SF place to stay! Johanna was very responsive to our needs. I did communicate that it is tough for Americans to do without a microwave. The back garden area is not in the best shape, but it is a shared space, so that is not Johanna's fault. If you are planning on staying in the front bedroom, you may want to bring earplugs. The traffic noise is pretty loud in there. The back bedroom is quiet though.
