To say this AirBnb exceeded my expectations would be a total understatement. Norma and Lyman are not only incredible hosts, but they are FANTASTIC people... They greeted us and made us feel like family—as opposed to guests. They are kind, thoughtful, and very inviting.
The loft is bright, airy, and open—they thought of so many nice details from the automatic locks/lights, to the full kitchen, to the beautiful outdoor patio (don’t even get me started on how comfy the bed is)! They truly put a ton of thought into the comfort of their guests and it shows.
My criteria for choosing somewhere was safety, parking available, and I wanted a kitchen-area should we want to stay in… The place is totally safe and I never once felt nervous walking around the area. I traveled with my husband, but I’m confident even traveling alone I would have been comfortable by myself. Parking is plentiful and right outside of their home which is unheard of in SF!
We stayed here a week and they were so accommodating/helpful with delicious food offerings and helping us plan our itinerary. Lyman was more than happy to help me out or provide suggestions and it helped visiting SF not be so intimidating! I never felt like I was being bothersome and he helped me choose places we didn’t have at home that normally I would not have thought of/considered. Did I mention how good they were?!
Additionally, I would strongly encourage anyone that stays to consider one of the tour offerings they provide. We chose a private cooking class with both Norma and Lyman and it was incredible! The food, experience, and learning more about their culture was the highlight of my trip and I will never forget it.
I could go and on about the two of them and our experience—I am SO glad we booked with them! We travel frequently and book through Airbnb all the time, but we’ve never had such awesome hosts.
Until next time!!
