I decided last minute to take advantage of some vacation time I had and show my mother around SF / Bay Area. Josh was extremely prompt with all communication and we managed to get set up the day before. The place is right by Haight / Ashbury & the Golden Gate Park. The location is great as you're a couple footsteps away from a meal, walk, or public transportation. The building is pretty aged, but Josh is in the midst of remodeling it (Nov. 2011) and from what I saw the other rooms looked great. Anyway, the place has a good amount of privacy and you even have a little dining area with a sink which is convenient. Most importantly the place is clean, guest-ready, and Josh is the perfect host. There are waters & snacks in entrance, two bikes for guests to use, travel literature, and he is very accommodating (He even gave me an iPod charger when I mentioned I forgot mine at home!). The only heads up I would tell others who plan to stay here is to make sure to have a pair of warm pj's, and to make use of the heater in the room as SF is pretty chilly at night in the winter. Overall, It was a great first airbnb experience and I would definitely stay here again.
