My wife and I arrived at Anka's place late, after a long flight from the east coast. We had no trouble getting into the apartment with Anka's instructions, and quickly found our room, marked with a welcome sign and our names, a very nice touch! Anka's AirBnB room is a good size for two people, with a comfortable bed, small couch, and plenty of space for clothes. We were in San Francisco for a wedding, so we had a lot scheduled, but for anyone visiting without a clear plan, Anka has stocked the room with a few travel guides, as well as her own suggestions for necessities and nightlife in the Castro neighborhood. Speaking of which, we found Anka's section of the Castro to be very quiet in the evening, perfect for us after multiple long wedding days.
Anka's instructions for using her apartment are very clear and straightforward. One of her best touches is movement activated lights in her hallways, which are great for when you've arrived back late, or need to use the bathroom the bathroom at night. Anka keeps her apartment very clean and tidy, and she has a truly delightful dog named Milo that lives with her. Before we arrived at her AirBnb, she was very prompt in responding to our questions, making us feel comfortable and at ease, just as we felt when we were staying with her!
We had never stayed in an AirBnB where the host was in residence, and we can't thank Anka enough for making it such a pleasant experience!
