This was a last-minute trip for work. I used to live in the Noe Valley area and knew I wanted to stay there versus a hotel -- there weren't a lot of options to choose from by the time I booked and I rather quickly chose Ed's place based on location and price. Having to go through the garage was a little bit of a surprise to me... but once you're in the unit, all was good. I wasn't spending much time there so it suited my needs just fine. Good shower, comfy bed, great location, friendly host. Good experience overall.
