The whole Airbnb experience was much better than going with a traditional hotel. Even in a smaller studio we had way more than a hotel could offer (like a smaller but full kitchen) for less than hotel prices. The studio itself was great, it was attached to the bottom of a (what I thought) was a 4-story house so we had the feeling of having our own little place in San Francisco, but the host was just above us if we ever needed anything.
Todd was an excellent host, meeting us upon arrival and making sure we were settled in and gave us general info about the area. We even met one of the neighbors who gave us their guest passes to the aquarium. Todd gave us space but was readily available if we had any questions or concerns.
Other folks who had stayed here mentioned the noise of the neighbors and kids being loud and annoying at times. I noticed the sounds but it didn't really bother me or my wife. If you're planning to stay in a major city, you shouldn't really expect total silence and if the sounds are too much for you, the studio had a white noise machine and ear plugs.
Also, (I don't know if this was mentioned on the listing or not) but the studio was being professionally cleaned by a person when we arrived. Cleanliness is important to me and this place looked and smelled fresh!
All in all I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in San Francisco!
