My experience at 554 3rd Ave couldn't have been better. The place and hosts exceeded my expectations.
Being a mature female solo traveller, I found the place ideal to cater for all my needs, simple yet cosy and comfortable, with attention to detail (i.e. to provide a gown and slippers for the shower room). At the end of busy days exploring or touring around, I pretty much looked forward to coming back to my San Francisco home. Having the toilet attached to the room a plus, the bed ultra-comfortable, the window overlooking the inner garden a bonus; and a coffee maker would have made it even more perfect. Location is not central to main tourist attractions but you can still go walking or request an Uber pool and be there at a minimal cost. Helen and Scott were kind, friendly and helpful and easily available either in person or by email. I would certainly stay again there and recommend their place to friends and family.
