I had the pleasure of staying at Jeannie and Skates' in the "music room" for a month in late Spring... It was by far, the best AirBnb stay i have ever had. I have stayed in quite a few AirBnb s, including in other countries; and they all are incomparable to the experience Jeannie and Skate provide at their beautiful home. I'm a San Francisco local, and have been in the city for quite some time, and have even lived in the same neighborhood as Jeannie and Skates place. However, the view from the top their immaculately kept 3 story garden left me in complete awe, and it's directly out the back door from the guest quarters! The peaceful sound of water flowing through home made fountains in the gardens invites one to leave all their troubles at the front door, and sit down with a good book....Every amenity one could need is provided for, including a breakfast nook with complete vistas of San Francisco to Mt. Sutro, making waking up a truly enjoyable experience....However amazing the location may be, it would not be a truly memorable stay without the host's being the outstanding individuals that they are, Jeannie and Skate. They truly care about the comfort of the guest, both physically and socially, and go out of their way in every way possible to ensure every aspect of your accommodations are to your liking. I stayed at Jeannie and Skates during the covid-19 lockdown, and every day i was there Jeannie would wipe down the guest suite with disinfectant, as well as any other common areas. The room is a miniature library/music studio, with a more than ample supply of books to be read in the garden, along with an impressive collection of stringed instruments to play, if that's your thing.
When i stayed at Jeannie and Skates it was a time of transition for me, and i truly don't believe i could have made the positive steps required to improve my life had it not been for the sublimely peaceful environment there, as well as the two host's with the biggest hearts you could ever wish for. If youre not a San Franciscan, these two people and their home exemplify the qualities of peace, love, and welcoming that we as a city hold in such high regard.
Jeannie and Skate, i will never forget my time spent at your home, and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to do so.
