Scott's pictures and description were completely accurate. This place was perfectly clean. It feels comfortable and welcoming. I loved the way he styled/decorated and remodeled the place. The shower, floors and toilet were updated while the mirrors and fixtures had charm and were hand selected to perfectly fit the space. The same could be said about the rest of the apartment. A mix of charming vintage elements along side updated pieces. The bed was perfect for me though my husband said it was a tad soft for him. I believe it may have been a memory foam. I loved it. The bedding was inviting and cozy. The patio garden was beautiful. It is completely private. The kitchen is fully functional, though we did not use it.
This location is quiet. You cannot hear street traffic.
As for location, it was great for us. We used uber to get to most locations including Mission which is the next neighborhood (you could walk). Bernal Heights is absolutely walkable. Scott's suggestions for coffee and local restaurants were spot on. We walked to Pinhole Cafe (8min walk), St George Cafe (5 min walk), and La Taqueria (15 min walk). We also road BART up to the Ferry Building and bought tickets at the station. It was easy and direct.
Scott outlines all of this plus much more in this notes to you after you book and a few days before your reservation.
This place is a gem and the host is great.
