Justin was a wonderful, unobtrusive host, quick to answer questions, with helpful suggestions.

Pros:
-Private entrance to the apartment, warmly furnished, with everything you need including huge tub/shower!
-Great walking neighborhood! Nearby highlights include Cafeto for morning coffee, New College Hill Market for any necessities, Spicy Bite for good Indian food (and they deliver!), Thrillhouse Records if you love vinyl like we do!
-Easy to use Uber to get all around the city, use UberPool to share rides and save a little money
-Free street parking! We never had to park more than a block away and often found parking right outside the apartment. Be very mindful of the street sweeping days though. Read the signs carefully! The days can be different even on opposite sides of the same street! We found that out the hard way and got a $68 parking ticket.

Cons:
-This apartment is on the ground floor of the house, so there is no way to avoid noise from the host's family above you. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper or you may find it hard to sleep in. I sleep with earplugs anyway because my husband is a heavy sleeper who snores so it didn't bother me too much. And we have a kid ourselves, so the noise from the kids made us chuckle more than anything.
-The main queen bed is a platform bed, low to the ground, with maybe a six inch thick mattress on it. We did not find it to be very comfortable, especially after walking around San Francisco all day. It was our only disappointment in the listing.

This was our first Airbnb experience and it was a very positive one! We saved a lot of money over a hotel, especially with the free street parking. We enjoyed being able to "live" in this apartment for a week and by the end it felt like home! We would definitely recommend Justin's place! Thank you so much!
