This was an excellent first airbnb experience for us. Melanie is a warm person and a welcoming hostess, and she made us feel at home. Her condo is bright, well decorated, immaculately clean, and relaxing to visit. She provided a very nice breakfast of yoghurt, fruit plate, granola, and coffee every morning. Her location is near art museums of interest for us, including the Palace of Legion of Honor and the de Young in Golden Gate Park. Street parking was not a problem. On her advice, we drove everywhere rather than take public transportation; travel to downtown areas was easier than we had expected. Melanie gave us excellent restaurant tips. Most importantly, she researched cultural opportunities for us and guided us to fantastic rush tickets at the SF Opera - the high point of our visit to SF!
