Todd is a great host--He was very communicative and helpful at the time of our reservation, and in accommodating our very late arrival. He is extremely friendly, and clearly enjoys living in San Francisco and sharing his knowledge about the area. He gave us detailed suggestions on where to go for a run, where to eat, and what to see. Super nice and interesting person. The apartment is a first floor unit, which is reached by entering through the garage. He provides a code to enter the garage, and then a code for the lockbox which has the keys to the apt. Todd gives very detailed directions, which make finding the apt and getting into the apt easy--even at midnight! The parking situation is relatively easy as well. We were in SF on a holiday weekend and were able to park very close the apt. We either parked on the same block, or at the most 1 block away (read the street signs carefully when you park!)
The apt is very clean and comfortable. It has a double shower which is very roomy. We did not spend a lot of time at the apt during the day since we were out sightseeing and sampling SF coffee and restaurants. The only slight drawback was that late at night, both Friday and Saturday nights we could here a lot of noise from an adjacent backyard. Apparently, the adjacent property is shared with a bar. I use the "white noise" app on my phone overnight, so it was okay, but for a very light sleeper, this might be a problem. I know that is part of city living--but I thought it was worth putting in the review. I did mention it to Todd, who said that he was going to address it with the adjacent property owner.
A great location, host and apartment!
