It's a dorm/hostel like setting connected to the Spaulding Hotel. It was my first AirBnB experience and first trip to San Francisco for a job interview.

The room was clean and Spartan, no soap, no hand towels, no hangars, no A/C, but great price for the location. I had to wait 30 minutes to check in at 6pm because the front desk agent had gone on break and the elevator had gone out so I had to walk up to the 6th floor room. The elevator was running fine the rest of the 3 day stay. The room had two large windows that opened up over the swimming pool of the Spaulding hotel and it was quite comfortable with a slight breeze, though I could see it being rather uncomfortable with no A/C in warm weather.

The other quests seemed to be young, international travelers, though it was not noisy at night; great sleeping environment for an interview the next day. The two staff members at the desk I interacted with were quiet but kind, not a hotel front desk staff by any means, a security card was used to access the building between 11pm and 6am.

Overall the location, a ten minute walk to the financial center, and close to the Powell St. BART stop, was perfect for the weekend I needed. I wouldn't recommend this as a spot for couples, but for young professionals on a budget, it fit the bill nicely.
