Area was nice and safe. Only about 7 minutes walk from the BART. But if you are carrying luggage, it's mostly uphill from the 24th St Mission Station. We dropped off our luggage before check-in time with absolutely painless.
The room was so clean and updated with a flat screen tv, microwave, water heater, coffee maker, fridge. The bathroom was also nice with fresh nautica towels (including face towels and hand towels). There was available shampoo and soap if you didn't bring any. Noah also provided a Brita Water pitcher inside the fridge which was a big life saver for us. We never went outside to the garden but it seemed like a nice place to drink coffee in the morning. The bed was comfortable with nice fluffy pillows and i didn't have problems going to bed at night.
Noah also provided garbage bags, ziplock bags, and dishes and eating utensils. And wifi was also available.
Only two tiny things about this place. 1.) Mornings can be loud since you can hear footsteps with the floor creaking, blender going, and a little kid laughing a lot (cute!). But if you're a heavy sleeper, then this is not a problem at all.
2.) We wanted to watch Sunday night football but we were unable to because they dvr 2-3 things in which we are unable to watch other channels. It's not really a big problem and we didn't want to stop Noah from recording his shows. Im sure if we just messaged him, he would have let us watch football.
Overall, I had a very pleasant stay in Noah's place. I never met him and his family but the place seems well kept, clean, and organized. It provided a lot of privacy and the separate entrance to the room was a big plus. It was like having your own studio/mini apartment. Definitely would come back to stay here again.
