What a wonderful AirB&B experience. Marianne is a phenomenal hostess. The apartment was clean and bright, and had everything we needed. Marianne goes above and beyond stocking the pantry and fridge with things you might need as you start your trip, and arrive in a hurry and haven't had a chance to go to the market. We had 2 loaves of bread, butter, jam, bananas, cereal, granola bars, eggs, milk, OJ, cream and coffee all waiting for us, and we used all of them gratefully over the course of the 5 days we were there. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were gorgeous. Marianne offered great communication w/us re: meeting to check in, she gave us a great intro to the apartment and what we might need; she had lots of tourist info available to us and great tips on using the Muni, etc. Speaking of the Muni - it's literally steps away. Could not be more convenient. The apartment is in one of the up-and-coming areas of the City - as one local put it to me, it's not so traffic-y there, and you can still get a seat at the (still busy) restaurants (agreed). There's something for everyone. Laundry literally across the street was very convenient. Marianne checked in a few times over the course of our stay to make sure we had all we needed. I give her and this apt my highest recommendation. We can't wait to come back. Thank you!
