Trying to find a cost-effective place to stay in the Bay area, even during the pandemic is tricky. Finding a place that includes a free parking, so you don't have to battle to find a spot on the street is even trickier. FInally, finding a spot in a safe place that is accessible to the airport, downtown and the beaches is the trickiest. Well, Cheryl's place fit all those criteria and more!
Communication was very fast, including directions for accessing the room, etc. The extras like coffees, teas, dishware, fridge, closet space and even toiletries, in case you forgot something were so thoughtful.
I melted into the soft, queen bed and the room could be dark for late sleepers, while having light come in if desired. I needed to have access to downtown San Fran. and North Bay, while easily getting to Belmont for a son's wedding. Cheryl's place was easy to get to all of these and more!
The space was very clean and well organized and included some guidebooks of the area, as well as tasteful art on the walls.
For me, this was a 5 star stay. Full disclosure that the bed is so, but not mushy. If you need a firm mattress then this might be a bit soft for you. For me, I simply melted into the mattress and woke every morning well rested. Also, you might here faint noise upstairs, including some tiny feet across the floor, but it was so quiet I barely noticed. If you're looking for complete quiet, as in no noise at all, then it might be better to search for "place all to myself". This said, it was one of the quietest rentals I've done, ever!
Finally, the ceiling is about 7-7.5 feet, but it was never an issue for me and I'm 6 foot, 2 inches tall.
All in all this was a fantastic value with so many thoughtful touches. I will be staying here, if it's available, when I return to the area. Great host, great space, great value!
