Definitely way better than staying at a hotel! The place was spotless and had everything that you could wish for as a traveler. The kitchen was also extremely well equipped. The location of Arron's place is amazing for those attending a conference at Moscone, visiting MOMA or watching a Giants game at Oracle Park, which are all within minutes walking. The area felt safe and I didn't hear any noise, but the host provided earplugs too! If I had to mention one thing that could have been better, it would be the water pressure of the shower, but that's minor. Would definitely like to come back to this place.
