Might be the best Airbnb Experience I've ever had.
Actual property: Much bigger than expected! Spacious balcony with room for 4 seats in bedroom 1 and floor to ceiling city view from Bedroom 2. Great kitchen and bathroom, amazing easy to use fireplace. In addition to living room, lovely breakfast, dining & work areas. Pictures don't do it justice. There is no key for the actual front door upstairs but instead a security system & door downstairs on the street level. Easily locked the doors when we were in and trusted our lovely host Tim when we were out. We had the top floor to ourselves and there was never any issues.
Amenities: Best stocked Kitchen I've ever seen in an Airbnb. Endless towels and bedding, great washer and dryer. Cleaning utensils available for a long stay. Great TV and soundbar to watch my TV debut!
Transport: Parking outside of Tim's was always available but we opted no car. V happy with our choice, property was 13 min walk to the train station and 1 street walk to the closest bus stop. We bought the City's transport 'Clipper' card and if timed well, always an easy trip into the city. The SF HILLS are not too bad from property to stations & bus stops but something to be aware of if you don't like to walk. On lazy days/ late nights a $15-$25 Lyft/Uber in or out of the city takes about 15-25 mins.
Location: Suburbs over a City centre stay was a great decision. Homelessness permeates throughout most of city which may come as a shock to the system depending on where you're from. Few hotels - however nice they were - are exempt from the problems just outside the door yet the hotels are extremely expensive. Not only is Tim's property good value for money compared to the hotels but it's on a lovely residential street a stones throw from the city with Twin Peaks (a most see spot) just a 30 min hike away. Grocery shops were a 15 min walk away in either direction.
We were a group of 3 women, Tim was a perfectly accommodating host, we couldn't have asked for more! If I'm to ever return back to SF, I'll be heading straight back to Tim's place. (Don't let the number of reviews fool you, this property hasn't been available for very long!)
