Lauren and Sarah's "Nice Rooms with Private 1/2 Bath" (NRWPHB) are so much more than "nice," it's difficult to do them justice in a short review. This has as much to do with Lauren and Sarah as it does with the NRWPHB. My wife and I were heading to SF for an urban vacation and hoping to avoid the usual Union Square hotel arrangement, looking to immerse ourselves in the city's dynamic neighborhood life. We turned to Airbnb--our first time as users--and happened upon the NRWPHB early in the search. L&S, it turns out, were also newbies, but it couldn't have mattered less and couldn't have been less obvious, given the warmth and easy hospitality with which they greeted us in their smart Noe Valley flat. Within moments of arrival we found ourselves elbowed up to the kitchen bar with S&L, chewing the fat as if we'd known each other for years. We left four days later feeling as though we'd made new friends.
As for the rooms at NRWPHB: clean, cozy yet airy, peaceful, stylish, with a super-comfy queen-sized bed and a great little sitting room for checking your email, reading, drinking a glass of wine... What's more, the apartment is really well situated geographically for forays by foot or public transport into the Mission and points beyond.
Quite honestly, my wife and I feel as though we really have no need to look elsewhere for accommodation in SF. L&S's NRWPHB is A.O.K. by us!
Thanks Sarah and Lauren! Hope to see you again soon!
