It was my first experience with Airbnb and I very much enjoyed it. Cecilia is a very friendly, helpful, and easy-going hostess. The room with its own bathroom and a nice glass door facing the terrace gives you a lot of privacy. Cecilia equipped the room with a coffee maker, so you can make your coffee in the morning and drink it on the terrace/in the garden in the nice morning sun. She was also very kind and left in the room coffee, juice, and some cereals, etc. for a start. The room also has a brand new heater installed, which you can turn on when it is a cold day or night.

And Bernal Heights is a very nice area to stay -- it has a very nice informal atmosphere. On Courtland St. you will find climatic cafes and great restaurants but not snobbish. If you like hiking, you can go up to the Bernal Heights Park and admire a beautiful panorama of San Francisco. Breath-taking!

If you use public transportation though, it can take a while to get downtown from there. However, there are some "express" buses, which go a little faster. Besides, the travel on a tram or trolley is an experience in itself, so if you are just a tourist, you can even enjoy it.:-)

Have a great time in SF and at Cecilia's!
