Martha’s Airbnb was absolutely wonderful. My friend and I stayed in the room with two twin beds for 4 nights for a long weekend trip in September.

Convenience: Martha was very welcoming and flexible. She let us come and drop our bags off before “check-in” on the day we arrived so we wouldn't have to lug them around.

The house: The house and the room we stayed in were gorgeous. The room is large and very lovely. Martha had a little welcome basket for us with chocolates, water, maps of the area and information about the house. There is also use of the front living room for relaxing and watching TV. We didn't use it very much because we were out a lot seeing the city and because we were so comfortable in our room but it was great to have the option to use that space to relax. There are also two bathrooms on the upper level where we stayed. We didn’t use the kitchen to cook at all but I felt like we could have if we wanted to.

The neighborhood: This house is located in the Richmond district of SFO. It’s a very nice area with a lot of shops, cafes and restaurants. There are 3 major streets running through the Richmond district, California, Clement and Geary. It’s easy to take the #1 bus or the #38 bus to downtown SFO on California or Geary. It took about 30-40 minutes on the bus to get downtown. We were also able to catch a bus on Presidio Park (about 4 blocks from the house) to go straight up to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Our welcome: Martha was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We didn't have a chance to meet her husband while we were there but we did get to see their adorable dog Jacko. Martha was full of tips about getting around SFO and great things to see.

Overall: We had a wonderful time in San Francisco. We had 5 busy days filled with activities and it was a great feeling knowing that we would be able to go back and relax in Martha’s home after running around SFO all day. I highly recommend staying in her Airbnb. 5 stars out of 5!
