Great location, location, location. Walking out the front door, you're in the thick of the NoPa neighborhood. Blocks away from Golden Gate Park, lots of restaurants, bars, dispensaries, etc. But.......
Very strong, artificial-smelling, cleaning products (Fabuloso brand) that lingered up to 36 hrs after our arrival. 2 guests had continuous allergic reactions to the overwhelming scent that permeated the small property, despite opening the only window that wasn't painted shut (bathroom) and leaving the front door open. Overall air quality was stuffy with poor circulation, especially at night.
Very noisy property, especially on Saturday night. We could hear every word of every individual who passed by. There was a party/gathering in the adjacent building on the corner that went to all hours (past 3am); raucous, late night bar crowd /conversations on sidewalk in front of property sounded like people were in the space with us. Lots of screaming, shrieking and yelling throughout the night. The plus was that the following (Sunday) night was much better.
We've stayed in many Air bnbs all over the country and internationally. We understand that every city is contracted with Air bnb differently. It's unfortunate that the cost of the cleaning fee plus service charges/ taxes for 2 nights was almost as much as one night's stay. The total cost for 4 people for 2 nights was $901. plus change. The cost for 2 nights was give or take around $600 with an additional $300 charge for the aforementioned service charges. Makes no sense to me. In hindsight, we could have booked another local property that was competitive, comparable and didn't smell like one of the worst cleaning products ever.
