We enjoyed a really nice 3 night, 4 day stay at Andrew's. The room was even larger than the photos make it seem; it has a separate entry, which made it easy to come and go (beautiful garden); and it was really easy to contact the host. They also provide mugs, coffee, a water heater, and a fridge, which was really convenient. The neighborhood is nice and safe, and an easy 10-15 minute walk to the Castro. It's about a 30 minute walk to the 24th St. BART and uphill if you are heading to the residence, so keep that in mind with luggage. We took an Uber for that part. Overall, we had no trouble getting around the city. As for noise, it was never an issue. My boyfriend and I are sound sleepers. We'd definitely stay again.
