It was looking good before I even arrived, I emailed Jay to give her an approximate arrival time and ask if it was ok. She responded very quickly to let me know that she'd be around all evening and that while she'd expect me at the time I stated, it didn't actually matter when I arrived.

When I did arrive she greeted me warmly, handed me a key and showed me to my room. The room was exactly as it appears in the photos. Jay even offered me milk and yogurt from the fridge! After that it was like I was the only person in the house, even though I was one of 4 or so. I could text, call or email Jay if I needed to ask anything and she'd reply very quickly.

The location is incredible, I walked almost the entire time I was there (6 days) and was never more than about an hour from home on foot. The bus system (muni) is amazing and the cabs are not too expensive so if you're in a hurry they are an option.

The house is very close to Union Street where I spent a lot of my evenings. There are some great eateries (Nettie's Crab Shack to name one) and some great bars.

An all-round great experience, if this is anything like the rest of my experience with Airbnb I'll never be booking a hotel again!
