This was a good rental and mostly consistent with our expectations. While it’s not what many would consider a central location, for anyone who’s comfortable with public transportation it represents a relaxed and safe place where you can be comfortable walking alone to the CVS at night, but still easy bus rides to the ocean and Golden Gate Park. With a little more effort downtown and the other tourist hotspots aren’t hard to get to either. There are good restaurants and groceries within about a half mile on Noriega, and it’s easy to drive out of town from here if you’re renting a car without having to negotiate lots of dense, complex traffic patterns. There were a couple of little maintenance issues like a bathtub drain that wouldn’t work, a leaky kitchen faucet, and a fiddly front door, but overall the place was clean, well furnished and in good shape - consistent with the photos. The only borderline big issue to consider is that this is a lower floor rental, and at times the noise from above can be considerable. This was rarely an issue, but one night in particular it sounded like someone was moving furniture above us for a full hour and a half between midnight and 1:30, during which time sleep was out of the question. Honestly in light of the fact that they knew they had guests, the level of noise for that hour was kind of bananas. The host is great to work with and if we’d brought it up we probably could’ve worked it out, but I never know how those kinds of complaints are going to be received and we were almost through our stay. All in all I still think this place will make sense for many from a value for money perspective, but just know that if reliable quiet time at night is critical, this place may not be for you.
