We have stayed at many, many Airbnbs over the years and this was by far, the best experience we've had. Ekin was just a peach-- responsive and kind, the historic home both charming and well-appointed, and the location unbeatable. The home is from the late 1800s, and is impeccably renovated, with all its charm intact. It is right across the street from Trick Dog, a very well-loved bar, so beware that the person who sleeps in the bedroom by that side of the street can be in for a noisy night. But Ekin's thoughtful gestures throughout the house, including blackout blinds and a sound machine really make that problem go away.
The neighborhood is delightfully walkable-- with Tartine, Flour + Water, Dandelion Chocolate, merely minutes away by foot. We spent one entire day walking through the Mission for the murals, hole in the wall burrito spots, and made our way to Dolores Park. No rides needed. Ekin had a list of recommendations that we utilized happily and she was spot on with them.
