The hosts are great and very helpful. We had a very warm welcome, with food and drinks available in the unit upon our arrival. Pepper, salt, oil, sugar, etc. are available so there is no need to buy those little stuff to cook. There are tons of towels and beddings, huge shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. The wi-fi signal is very good. The description and the disclosure in the listing are accurate. The unit has a great view of the bay. The place is very near the Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Trader's Joe, Safeway, Ross, cable car stops. There are several television units in the house controlled by the main tv unit in the living room. On the plus side, whatever you watch in the living room, you can still watch when you go to the bedroom or dining. The downside is that, you can't control the channels, etc. from the bedroom nor from the dining tv units.

The unit is comfortable for 4; a fifth person will have to sleep on the couch in the living room.

We were driving a full-sized SUV and it was a really tight squeeze in the garage that I had to fold the mirrors everytime I enter and exit the garage. It should be fine with a standard car.

The unit is not exactly sound-proof. We were jet lagged when we arrived and for a few days thereafter. Coming from a 16-hour advanced time zone, we could not sleep well in the evening so we generally converge in the living room and watch television until midnight; the sound carries because Laurie knocked and requested us to lower the volume so I had to constantly remind my teen-agers to keep the volume of their banter and/or television down.

On the overall, it was a great stay. My only confusion there is whether the contract allows the host to enter the unit when the guests are away. In my country, that may be allowed but never without the presence and/or conformity of the guests. We were not really worried about it because the hosts seem nice and honest people but it was rather uncomfortable learning that the hosts can come and go inside your rented unit while you are away.
