Both myself and my travelling companion agree that Martha’s place is the best AirBnB experience we have ever had. The house is a beautiful, Victorian-style townhouse, of the kind you will see all over San Francisco, and it was simply wonderful to be able to stay in one, and feel a part of the city. It really was the perfect embodiment of how special AirBnB can be.
We were met at the door by Martha, and her adorable scruffy dog, Jack, and given a warm welcome to the place, and the city—with plenty of excellent tips and suggestions. Martha was also incredibly helpful, getting in touch about an item left behind, and helping to arrange its return—well above the call if duty.
The room was beautifully appointed with vintage furniture, comfortable beds, quality linen, and thoughtful details (like a mini refrigerator, coffee, free postcards and almonds). There were two bathrooms, featuring a range of expensive and subtly-scented body products, a great shower and a deep tub. The whole front of the house is entirely self-contained, and we had complete privacy—including a spacious light-dappled living room, with a writing desk and huge windows out to the street. I walked out every day feeling like I had been treated to the best suite at an exclusive boutique hotel.
The house is close to great public transit options (we saw the whole city with only one or two Uber/Lyfts), has great 100mbps wifi, and is only ~30mins walk through Presidio Park to the Golden Gate Bridge, and even closer to the De Young museum and Academy of Sciences. Sensational views abound.
If you are considering a stay in San Francisco, and want to feel part of the city as you sink in to its unique culture, you simply won’t do better than Martha’s place. Book now!
