I had a wonderful two night stay with Wendy and Ivan. If you are hesitant about staying in a private room in a personal house, this is a good way to get your feet wet with the true Airbnb experience. The bedroom has plenty of room for your things plus closet space so you don't need to live out of a suitcase. The bed was super comfy that rivals any fancy hotel. I arrived late on a Friday night but still got a warm welcome from Ivan and Milo.
My biggest regret is that I couldn't stay longer. I did manage to get in one breakfast at Tartine Bakery (an absolute must!) but there were so many other restaurants and shops that I wish I had gotten time to explore. Even as I was walking to the BART to get back to the airport I had to fight the urge to duck into the antique and thrift shops along Valencia.
I don't think I can add anything else that the other hundreds of reviews haven't covered. You should stay here!
