This was my first time trying Airbnb, and I feel so lucky to have found Praise's listing! First of all, Praise and her roommate Claire were welcoming and accommodating-- my friend and I arrived late at night but Claire still cheerfully let us in and told us about the apartment. Praise was full of tips about the neighborhood! If you stay here, you HAVE to try out Burma Love, which is right around the corner from their place.

We also walked to the Castro to the night club Toad Hall she recommended and felt totally safe walking there at 11pm on a lovely night. (I would say to generally head in that direction instead of towards Mission Street at night, but Praise will tell you that!) We were about a half hour public transit from the Wharf, which was fine (definitely invest in a Clipper Card or else you need exact change for the busses and street cars!)

At night, you will be so glad you stayed in the Mission and not the touristy parts, because the Mission is littered with cool bars and restaurants-- you just have to walk outside. Praise's apartment is clean and beautiful, and I can't imagine a better place to stay for our four-day trip! Thanks so much!
