I enjoyed a quick but very comfortable one night stay at Mario’s private room in the lower level of his house. Very easy access to entrance through the garage, then into the private space , the garage door locks for extra security. There’s also a door that closes off the private room so it is a uniquely separate space. As advertised the bathroom has a newly renovated look and feel and the bedroom’s main feature is the extremely comfortable bed at the center. Nice touches like 2 bedside tables, armoire, 2 chairs, bookshelf, 2 tray tables, fridge and microwave all add to the usability of this accommodating room. The TV is mounted on the wall so it also gives extra room to put things in the provided spaces. Plenty of outlets on each wall to plug in and charge items as well as use the provided three lamps if you don’t want to keep the bright overhead light on. Even though it was June, the evening went down to 57° and so I did make use of the space heater provided. Two small windows at the top of the walls ( being that it is lowest level) let in a good amount of natural light in the daytime, yet shades are provided for privacy if desired.
Mario also gives the suggestion to check out Cortland Avenue a few blocks away, which has a nice array of international food selections, handy for after checking in if you just want to walk a short distance to find dinner or breakfast. The central location is easy enough to get to using BART & MUNI systems. I used Google maps which always gave me extremely accurate instructions on what transit to take to get to and from the house. Definitely do NOT miss a walk up the hill to see Bernal Heights Park and experience the views of downtown San Francisco. All in all it was a great stay, very comfortable and the modern touches made it even more so. I was able to take advantage of the baggage storage which I truly appreciated, so please do not hesitate to ask Mario if you need this for your stay. Using the Airbnb app Messenger box, it was very easy to communicate with Mario, he responds quickly. This room is a great value for everything that you get.
