We loved everything about the Wanderlust suite at Carl’s place. The suite was spacious, with a mini fridge and large workspace and 2 closets. Our minimum standard whenever we share a space is a private bath, and this one was great. It had both a tub and a separate shower, and though we only used the shower, it was nice to have options. The view out back is charming, and the neighbor’s garden is breathtaking. There’s almost a balcony type situation, as you can step out the low window to the fire escape- in fact, this how you get to the hot tub, which we didn’t have time to take advantage of. I thought it was nice that he opens his kitchen to his guests (it’s downstairs so he could easily close that space off, but he’s happy to share)- while we only used it to fill our water bottles, it’s a gorgeous space, and in a longer stay I might love to cook a meal there. He seems like a really sweet, kind hearted guy, wish we could have met. The neighborhood is one of my favorites in SF. You can throw a rock in any direction and hit some incredible food, drinks or entertainment. We loved our cozy dinner at Maven and our quickie dinner the night before at The Little Chihuahua (TLC). I will say that if the parking space is important to you, it’s a bit quirky to get in and out of, and you have to be totally comfortable leaving your keys in a community bowl in the house, but Carl gave detailed written instructions that were easy to follow, and anytime you stay in a shared space, you have to be willing to take a leap of faith and have some basic trust in your fellow human. Likewise, be prepared to hear conversations from your neighbors, but it wasn’t anything that kept us awake or annoyed, and though it was a “Full House” (hee hee), we barely saw another soul the whole weekend, and the space felt very private. We would definitely stay here again!
