Shirin's place was just absolutely lovely and in a great area. I stayed in a couple of places in The Mission (SF) and this was definitely the best location. Bus stop right in front of the door, not as many homeless people as in the rest of the area which gave it a safer feel and great food and coffee places just around the corner.

The room is quite spacious and the bed is comfortable. The sheets are supersoft! The shared spaces are fine, but the shower is especially heavenly. Best showerhead ever!

Shirin and her husband are very friendly, flexible and accommodating. We didn't see each other much, but the talks we had were nice and pleasant. You can see they've had quite a bit of AirBnB experience: they're very good hosts.

As was said by others before, you do really need to like animals. It's super fun if you do, but I can imagine if you're not into pets, this wouldn't be the place for you.

Mind you, as with my other place in SF, breakfast is not included. But you can use the fridge and kitchen if you want to get/make your own. I suggest you go out though, this area is full of nice places to have breakfast.

Looking at the prices and what you get in SF, this is an excellent value for money. The common places are not big and can get a bit cluttery, but you won't get this nice a place, with such a good private room, wonderful shower and friendly hosts for this price in this area.
