My partner and I stayed at Maria’s place for three months while working remotely in San Francisco. The TLDR of my review is that the place would be good for a short stay of a few days, but had some issues that makes it less than desirable for a longer stay.
Pros:
-Maria is a great host. She’s very responsive and fixes problems quickly.
-The apartment is very close to Cortland Ave which has a ton of great restaurants and bars.
Cons:
-There was no central heating so we had to use space heaters to warm it up, but if you plugged in too many, you’d trip the circuit breakers and the electricity would go out. We had to play a game of limiting what we had plugged in at different times to manage this.
-The internet cut out several times while we were there which made it difficult for my partner and I who work remotely. While Maria was quick at working to remedy the situation it was still disruptive.
-Cleanliness wasn’t great. When we first got to the place, it smelled musty and the towels and sheets had a ton of lint on them and felt a bit ratty. We paid a cleaner to come and set up some air purifiers which helped make it better but it was frustrating we had to do that.
