Yaella's home is located at the corner between South Van Ness and 23rd, in the southern part of the Mission, which has best maintained its original flavors. The location is great to stroll around the neighborhood or to walk to the nearby subway station to quickly get to downtown San Francisco or to other cities down in the Bay Area.

The building is a typical Victorian house like many in San Francisco. My mom and my wife's mom stayed there for about a week, and enjoyed the classic looks of the building and the furniture. On the other end, they found that only the kitchen had been remodeled, while the other rooms were more outdated, with squeaky floors and limited ventilation.

All in all, when I helped our moms settle in as they arrived, I was excited about the great location but disappointed by the first vibes we got from the place. While the Kitchen is true to the pictures, the other rooms don't feel as spacious, bright, or lively.

On a final note, the second bedroom is not really a bedroom, but a repurposed office with an inflatable mattress. The inflatable mattress is correctly listed in the sleeping arrangement section of the listing, but is not mentioned in the description of the home itself. And out of more than 30 pictures, only three show this room, and only one shows the room with the inflatable bed in it.

Because of this, I would recommend this place mostly for just one person or couple who want a great location and a modern kitchen, but who don't plan to use the rest of the house as much.
