Ed was a consummate host and attended to our stay promptly and graciously. He greeted us warmly, offered his 60+ years of SF-resident experience, provided a bowl of fresh fruit, carafe of milk, and jug of drinking water among other things, which were deeply appreciated, but overall the place was a bit of disappointment. While affordable for the neighborhood, the studio smelled like a musty basement, the rugs and floors were stained & appeared dirty and could have used a good vacuum and deep clean, the pillows were flat & tired, and the sofa bed was terribly uncomfortable (crippling, according to my son). But the thing that I found most unsettling was the lock situation - the locking mechanism requires you to key-lock yourself in so it felt like a fire or earthquake hazard (the tumbler for both locks don't turn easily, and you'll need an equal ratio of keys-to-guests so if anyone goes out solo, e.g., run, coffee, etc, the guest left behind isn’t without one to get out in a pinch—Ed responded to our request for a 2nd set promptly). That said, the main bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean with ample towels. I’m not a fan of the clawfoot tub/plastic shower curtain set up as it feels like showering in a garbage bag but this is a standard SF setup so no fault of Ed’s but it’s helpful to know ahead of time. I do wish the place had been a little cleaner & didn’t smell with a little more effort put into the amenities (pillows, sheets, rugs, sofa bed), but the lackluster space was in part made up by the kindness & generosity of spirit shown by Ed, and in the end we made it work.
