We really enjoyed our month long stay in this airbnb! It was certainly very unique. Although a studio, this apartment feels big and has separate rooms for the bedroom area & kitchen. The bathroom was wonderful, huge with both a bathtub and (double head) shower. Toilet paper was supplied, which was appreciated. The outdoor space was a little dirty, but cute and we enjoyed going there during the day. The laundry just outside was so convenient!
The airbnb itself has a decent amount of stuff still in it - a lot of artwork & art tools, some clothes, old toiletries, and a lot of kitchen stuff. There were things like a printer, Nespresso machine, a record player. It definitely wasn’t a blank canvas, like other long term airbnb rentals we have stayed in have been. Although it felt a tad cluttered, it actually made the studio feel more homey. We didn’t mind and still found enough space to unpack our stuff. We appreciated having everything we needed for our stay.
I am happy to report we had ZERO mouse sightings. We were a little worried based on other reviews, but it must have been taken care of. The place was very clean.
LOCATION:
The alley it is located in is super cute, lined with beautiful murals, and is right next to a ton of bars and restaurants. It feels like the authentic mission district, which I liked. Valencia St (the popular part of the mission) is about 10-15 min walking. The bart station is a 7-8 min walk, which was very convenient. We also enjoyed walking to Precita Park & Bernal Heights, 10-15 min walk away.
PARKING:
We determined parking was going to be quite difficult for the month since most spots require permits. We decided to leave our car in Oakland for the month. That being said, the alley way has enough room to park your car to unload your luggage, which was nice.
OVERALL:
I recommend this airbnb!! It is very cute and unique. The king bed was huge and comfortable. It got a little cold while we were here, but the heat adjusts the temperature nicely. My boyfriend and I were both working remotely and found it to be enough space for two people to work. We really liked the location as well. Would recommend for long term stays!!
