This is a beautiful home right in the heart of the Castro. The place was spotless, with a fully equipped kitchen that includes a washer/dryer. We were traveling for a mixture of work and play, and the space was great to spread out in for working from home, as well as convenient for commuting to downtown and accessing the different parts of town for restaurants and museums. In short, perfect location, gorgeous home.
However... part of the reason the apartment is so gorgeous is that the hosts actually live there. Unlike most Airbnb's these days, you could really tell from the layout and design and personal decorations that this is their home. And with that, I got the feeling that they weren't QUITE comfortable with us being there. The host dropped by our first day to check us out, even though we had successfully let ourselves in the night before and did not need anything. We had some other communication issues, with the host implying that we should text off the airbnb app. I quickly found out why, as there was a lot of contact about them swinging by to pick up packages or grab things from the apartment. They also scheduled their cleaners to come during the last day of our stay, and would not take no for an answer when I said that was inconvenient for us due to our work schedules, because they had a quick turnaround the next day. As a guest, when I plunk down a significant amount of money to stay somewhere, I do expect to have the place to myself and not to be fielding errand requests from the host or working my schedule around theirs for cleaning.
Everything else about our stay was fantastic. Even with the communication issues, I highly recommend this place.
