A really awesome experience! This is the first time I have used AirBnb. I did not know what to expect. I was blown away by Phil's setup and the amenities and services he offered. First of all, the one bedroom one bath was in fact a full studio apartment, including a fridge, full kitchenette and really nice coffee machine (with free coffee pods)! The apartment was immaculately clean, well maintained, and well laid out. Secondly, the room featured a really nice memory foam mattress! As someone who sleeps on a memory foam mattress at home, I was very pleasantly surprised. I have yet to find a hotel - even $300+ / night hotels - willing to offer memory foam mattresses in their rooms. I slept very well. Thirdly, Phil has very wisely setup his house for use as an AirBnb. The first floor contains a laundry room with a kick-@$$ modern washer and dryer and two full studio suites. The door locks use a keypad setup to allow each guest to gain access to their particular floor / room. Fourthly, Phil was very responsive. A prior guest had hidden pizza boxes behind the trash cans under the kitchenette sink. Ants, curious about this food source, had formed a trail from a storage closet in the unit to the sink. Within thirty minutes of me discovering the ant trail and texting Phil, Phil's Mom arrived, found the source of the problem (the hidden pizza boxes), humanely removed the ant trail, and cleaned the room. She was very nice and very pleasant to talk to. I found her more professional and much nicer than any of the hotel staff I've encountered over several years of business travel. Finally, Phil's place is literally a block away from the West Portal MUNI station. Depending on the time of day, the commute to downtown San Francisco (in particular the Moscone center) was 15 to 20 minutes! The street along the muni station offers a movie theatre (I watched Spectre there on one of my free nights) and many pretty awesome restaurants. Also, Phil's neighborhood provides ample street parking, and Phil provides residential parking passes for his guests. If you have a car (like I did), Phil's setup and location is ideal - better and cheaper than any hotel. My only point of caution is that the walls in Phil's place - both the walls between the two first floor units, and the space between the two stories, are not very sound insulating. Noises travel. If you are a noise sensitive sleeper, or a clunky loud person, or want to have a social gathering in your room, this is not the place for you. If you are too loud, Phil will ask you to leave, of which I heartily approve. If you want to socialize, I suggest renting a full house via AirBnb or booking a hotel room, instead. That said, the next time I am in SF, I definitely plan on staying at Phil's AirBnb...
