Emily's studio was exactly like the pictures and was lovely. The bed and the pillows were so comfy!
The neighbourhood is quiet and cute with great views of the city. There's lots of nice inexpensive places to eat and drink close by too. There is a very chilled out, hipster vibe on Potrero Hill, Dogpatch and Mission district which are the surrounding neighbourhoods.
There are some pretty steep hills around the neighbourhood which I used for a gruelling cardio session each morning...not for the faint hearted!
Emily was excellent at staying in touch with us before and during the stay, even messaging to check if we needed anything since we didn't get a chance to meet her until we checked out.
We were also able to keep our luggage there until the late afternoon on our day of checkout as we were doing the Alcatraz tour and couldn't take them with us.
Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend Emily's place.
As a first Airbnb experience, Emily has definitely set the bar high!!
