This was our first Airbnb experience and we spent a lot of time trying to find the ideal place. The location was ideal - close to the beach and amenities, with some fantastic walks nearby and only a short car journey to the centre of San Francisco. We did attempt to walk to Fisherman's Wharf one day - it ended up taking 2 1/2 hours! But taxis were frequent and easy to find if required. The small parade of cafes and restaurants on the street a short walk away were ideal. We had some fantastic breakfasts up there.

Golden Gate Park is also nearby and provided some lovely scenery. Be prepared to walk to places but the reward once you get there is worth it!

Whilst we never had to contact our hosts, who live above the apartment, it was comforting to know they were available should we need assistance. The apartment was self-contained and had everything as described and was immaculately clean and tidy. The lack of a TV was no problem, because there is literally so much to do in the local area, we were hardly ever at the apartment!

The area itself was quiet and apart from some roadworks happening just outside during our visit, we never had any issues with outside noise. We felt secure during our time there, as the entrance to the apartment is fairly well hidden.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone visiting San Francisco - it was perfect!
