Truly an outstanding Airbnb home! This is probably the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in. Cleanliness, check-in, value and every other category were all 5 stars.
I'll start with location. If you're visiting San Francisco as a tourist and want to see the sights of the city, you can't find a better location. This home is less than a block from the main East-West artery through the city. We like to walk to most places and we were within a one hour walk from anywhere in the city -- Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, Land's End, Sutro Baths, Golden Gate Park, Palace of Fine Arts, Union Square, and many more. Not only that, but it was only a short walk to grocery stores such as Trader Joe's, Safeway and Whole Foods. Also, a Target store was only about a block from Trader Joe's. Even if you don't like to walk, all forms of public transportation were right down the street. One caution if you're driving your own car is to pay close attention to the parking restrictions on almost all streets. Most streets are closed for one to two hours one day per week for street cleaning. Nevertheless, there was never a problem finding a parking place within a half-block from the house, if not directly in front of the house.
How about cleanliness? This home was spotless and meticulously maintained from top to bottom. Valentina was wonderful and was very responsive.
How about value and aesthetic appeal? This was the most enjoyable and comfortable home we've every stayed in. It has all the latest technology and modern upgrades, including lots of personal touches which made this feel more like our home rather than a short-term rental. We felt very fortunate to have been able to rent and live in such a high-end home in SF for such good value. It was so nice having a bath for each of the 3 bedrooms, plus a half bath on the first floor for the living room, dining room and kitchen. This made it so convenient and comfortable for our family of five -- parents, two teenage girls and one teenage boy.
Finally, Bart and Charlene were wonderful hosts and were always, always available and responsive within just a few minutes. Even though this is the home where they live, they made us feel as if it were actually our home.
We would highly recommend this home to our closest friends and family and would welcome the opportunity to stay here again if ever in San Francisco again.
