Fantastic! We used this word many times during our 4 day stay at Adrian’s amazing flat, called Mandy. It wasn’t just the amazing views which were so impressive. The entire flat was clean, beautifully decorated, well equipped, and immediately enchanted us. The décor was feast for eyes with mid century furniture, colorful walls, and original artwork in different media (including one of Marilyn Manson!). There was a wonderful collection of books about music and pop culture. Wi fi was fast and there were many outlet stations for charging computers and mobile phones. The kitchen was nice size and functional with high end Euro appliances including a built in espresso machine! The bedrooms had nice roomy closets with lots of hangers and hooks; high quality linens; and comfy beds. We slept very well every night. The flat is very well laid out making very efficient use of space. There is one full bath and one half bath, which made it very nice for getting ready in the mornings. Each floor of the building has dedicated trash room where we took our refuse and recycle items.
The location was perfect for the business or leisure guest – walking distance to financial district and to many tourist sites. It is in a safe, clean, historical neighborhood with some amazing dim sum (egg custard tarts!) places just steps away. Using Uber or Lyft was convenient and fast.
It was a very wet and cold all week, but we stayed warm and very comfortable inside Mandy. Our days were busy attending meetings but we looked forward to returning to the flat each evening where we could relax, have hot tea, listen to music, and enjoy the views which were just as stunning at night.
We had the pleasure of meeting our host Adrian in person who is one of the sweetest, coolest, and most interesting hosts in my many years of using Airbnb.
At the end of our trip, we jumped on the Uber ride in front of the building, and reluctantly said good-bye to San Francisco and Adrian’s wonderful place. Thank you, Adrian, for sharing your awesome place with us.
