My sister and I were in SF for OSL and this House was a great location to get into Golden Gate Park super quickly. Cheap Uber’s nearby. People coming and going whatever time they wanted took away the stress of getting into someone’s home noise free. Lulu was away during our stay but her son Alexandre was there who was wonderful, easy to be around, and showed us the ropes.
The list of rules is not at all an exaggeration, and if you break one, even for a short time, you’ll hear about it (ie leaving a light on accidentally or showering for too long). Because we used the house so little it was exactly what we needed but it wasn’t the most comfortable for that reason. We were often worried we would be reprimanded if we did something wrong. It was very cold but they provided many blankets and our room was a comfortable temperature at night. There wasn’t any coffee in the mornings and us not other guests couldn’t find any or most of the other breakfast offerings but that’s a perk and not a requirement so we weren’t upset by that. The biggest bummer was the shower requirement - being in a cold city, in a cold house, and not being able to take a decent shower when you’re paying $140+ a night to do just that was disappointing.
We also didn’t realize that there were many other Airbnb stayers at the house as well, although that didn’t bother us either.
I suggest reading through the list of rules carefully, they are not an exaggeration, and seeing if that fits with the trip you are looking for. Not necessarily our style but we can see how it would be the perfect match for many.
Thank you for opening your home to us LuLu and Alexandre!
