This is my honest opinion from our recent experience as I don’t understand how this place received so many positive reviews. The only positive is the location, which is walking distance to Golden Gate Park and some of the best foods in San Francisco.
Other than ideal location the host needs to put some money into renovations and proper cleaning before it can be rented out again. The hardwood floor is coming off and makes a ton of noise when you’re walking around. The bathroom door is loud and doesn’t shut all the way. You can hear every single foot step/movement from upstairs. When I informed the host of the noise, she told me this is San Francisco. I’ve also lived in San Francisco in the past and it was definitely not this bad.
The worst is the bedding provide…it had a very foul odor, like it hasn’t been washed in ages. The host told us everything has been professionally cleaned, which doesn’t seem like it because the blankets were actually sticky and there was dust on the bed tables. I removed the pillow cases to show her the YELLOW stained pillows and she told me it’s just the insides, the pillow cases are clean though. Wow. Would you sleep on ultra stained pillows, especially since we’re still in a pandemic??! Not one but almost all of the pillows were old, flat with stains. That’s pretty disgusting. Luckily, we still had our sleeping bags from our camping trip so we ended using that for a night before moving to another place first thing in the morning.
