This was the strangest and coolest Airbnb I've ever stayed in. Staying at Merkley's place gives you the same feeling as when you're exploring through a flea market or thrift store - but you get to stay after hours exploring through the oddly artistic accumulation of found relics and junk.

The host was incredibly responsive, giving you access to the building through August, an app that essentially gives you keyless entry to the building which was nice. Fridge was fully stocked for us with beverages and a few snacks. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. This place begs to be in a photoshoot.

Only drawback for me was the shower, which was more of a trickle that was difficult to temperature control. I understand this is meant to me a somewhat unusual place stay where the quirks are part of the charm, but it is expensive enough after tax and cleaning that it should be in better condition.

Overall we loved it, as San Francisco natives it was a super fun staycation for us and is just a block from great restaurants and bars. If you're up for a laugh and unique experience this place is a great find.
