I can't say enough about the wonderful accommodations at Maria's place. So clean, in such good shape, and everything we could possibly need. Better than any hotel! The place looks brand new or very recently remodeled and tastefully decorated. The pictures do not lie. She left snacks, local information, amenities beyond most hotels and the bed was very comfy. All instructions were clear and checking in a breeze. Unfortunately we did not get to meet Maria (but briefly met her very nice husband Francois) but we texted and she made sure we had everything - even though we didn't need anything because the place was so stocked. Loved the patio outside the studio tucked behind the main house (and secured from the street). Great for relaxing after a busy day in the city. Location is wonderful - right on Golden Gate park and we brought out bikes with us to ride into the park everyday. Lots of places to eat and fun sights and shops being only a couple blocks from the Haight district. And the neighborhood was very quite at night considering it is in the heart of the city. It was our first Airbnb experience and I am now hooked and spoiled. I'm ready to book at Maria's again!
