We stayed at Giulia’s place for a quick trip from LA to San Francisco. We are from Mississippi, had to come to LA for an appointment, and wanted to see San Francisco while on the West Coast.
Admittedly, I was trying to find a good place that was also inexpensive. I feel that Giulia’s place checked those boxes.
It was clean and comfortable and was mostly as described. The bathroom has recently been remodeled and was well done! They have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available for use. There was also a hairdryer, iron, and ironing board. Very nicely set up for any guest.
The location is good and we enjoyed the short walk to the Painted Ladies and Hayes Valley. Lots of great shops and restaurants! Doppio Zero was on that Giulia recommended in the house manual and it was DELICIOUS!
This Airbnb is in a very good and safe area, but it is not close to the Embarcadero area, so you will spend a good bit on Lyfts to and from most areas that the regular tourist would be visiting. I think that’s important to point out. Also, traffic in the afternoon gets busy and it takes about 20- 30 min each way to and from the unit to some of the more popular tourist areas.
There is also a steep staircase with a narrow balcony to the door that leads to the Airbnb. Extremely difficult to get luggage up and down, but not impossible. I only mention this because I don’t recall reading about it when I booked and was not expecting it.
As long as you are ok with those things, this is a great place to stay!
A few places we enjoyed eating: Hollywood Cafe for breakfast (Eight AM was closed), Doppio Zero (as already mentioned), San Jalisco (Mission District - HUGE portions), and Dago Bagel (great bagels, hot chocolate, and vanilla lattes.
