I would consider this the ultimate Airbnb experience; the one I would measure all the other ones against. First of all, the room is entirely private with a private entrance of it's own and a private garden/yard. It is absolutely quiet -- being partially below ground level you literally hear none of the busy sounds of traffic/buses/cars (even ambulances -- there's a hospital nearby). This alone gives the room an extremely restful feel. Second, the space is absolutely 100% clean -- spotless I would say. It hardly looks as if it has been used by others when in fact of course it has been. Cleanliness is VERY high on my list and hands down, this was the cleanest Airbnb we have stayed in (I think we have stayed in about 6 by now). The room itself is big and spacious. We stayed for a week and so we had lots of luggage and stuff and there was room for it all with space too spare. The host is absolutely gracious and involved without being in the least nosy or over-present. She makes herself available by text and I mean available. She's responsive and attentive -- i.e., there was a minor drain problem in the bathroom that was attended to the very same day. There is breakfast and eating within walking with a bus stop on the corner and it is in a lovely, quiet, residential neighborhood in San Francisco. On a 1-10 scale, I would give it a 10+. We go to San Francisco for a convention every year. Hopefully Lorraine will be there next year because we will be back! Thank you to Airbnb and thank you to our host Lorraine for a superb experience.
