This was my first time trying airbnb.com and it was a very positive experience. I liked the privacy of having my own self-contained unit with a nice clean bathroom, fridge and microwave. Ceciia was a great, friendly hostess and very accommodating. There was juice, milk, fruit, tea and coffee when I arrived-which was a nice touch. There was a good space heater, which kept the room cozy and warm. Bernal Heights is a quiet, almost sleepy part of the city. There are restaurants, stores and cafes close by. The only drawback for me is how long it took to get around. I had no idea how slow the buses could be in SF and did not anticipate the long waits between buses. It can take quite a long time to get to some of the neighborhoods on the other side of the city. However, I don't think you could find something as nice and self-contained in a more central location. Overall a very pleasant stay!
