I stayed at Elyse's place for 33 days as I had just recently moved out of my previous place, also in the city, and needed a place to stay in that I could do some studio hunting without any stress.
As described, it is a safe neighborhood, serene and calm. You will have all the amenities needed, beautiful views and a good deal in terms of San Francisco prices for a small condo.
If you have a long term stay with Elyse please be aware that she charges $250 for service fee which she is supposed to provided twice a month (under house rules). In my case, this never happened even after having set a date, she re-scheduled and the person never showed up. I tried messaging her via text and Air BnB chat but I just did not get a proper clarification in regards to this topic.The previous brings me to issues with communication, the responses were slow or null, I would dare to say ignored.
In regards to the neighborhood, its racial integration is poor, it is prominently white you have to walk down to the Mission to see others that look like you. The other minorities were construction workers and nannies, as a minority myself, this made me feel very uncomfortable.
If you are looking for a super family oriented site, this is for you, everyone here seems to be pregnant or with more than one child. Excellent for children, again, if you are white. I even had a couple of Jehovah's witnesses knock on my door! Something that I had never experienced in the five years that I have been living in SF.
I would recommend this place for a short stay in the city if you'd like to stay away from the busy environment also long term but being aware of the kind of neighborhood that this is-safe but poorly racially integrated-which paints a poor sight of the great ideological and racial diversity that San Francisco has historically represented for years.
*Edit: Only after leaving this review, Mary responded to my concerns and fully refunded the $250.00 service fee.
