The host, Lauren, was great! She was open, friendly and made us feel very much at home. The contemporary décor, the privacy and the fact that the place was supper tidy was also very welcoming. Pro: This is a small private apartment in which you control access. Con: The front door is glass, which could be a privacy issue. It is located at the bottom of a flight of stairs, so if someone were to stand at the top of the landing or at the bottom outside the door they could see in to some degree. Pro: there are two bus stops within 3 city blocks that can take you to go Downtown, to the Fisherman's Wharf or the Golden Gate Bridge. Con: the locals also utilize the bus to go to/fro work so plan to depart early enough to factor in a wait, otherwise you'll want to take a taxi or Ubber. Pro: the place is VERY cozy and new, perfect for two people! The sofa converts to a bed so four could stay but it might be a bit tight in terms of lounging. Con: It is located right under a freeway so it can be noisy with the windows open (not bad with the windows closed). Pro: the host is currently working on the backyard landscaping so there will soon be a patio area to enjoy outside. Con: if you are mobility impaired, note that entry access means walking up a semi steep gravel walk-way and down steep stairs. Overall the place and the host are great! If you are on a flexible schedule and physically able to maneuver around a few walking obstacles this place will work for you! Enjoy!!
