I pulled up the delicious tree lined street not far from the famous Delores Park to find the handsome yet accessible flat. It’s so very lovely, comfortable and yet elegant in its design and furnishings. The owners have spared no expense in setting up one of the most sophisticated rentals that I have enjoyed, and I’ve been an Airbnb superhost for many years now. Mary has thought of absolutely everything you need for her extended stays, and the place is sparkling clean and she has thought of and stocked the rental with a set of supplies that make it infinitely easy to settle in. Other than my luggage computer and a few books, I didn’t need a single thing nor did I have to go out to buy my first pot of coffee. Every closet is set up with a few basics to help with travelers who arrive and just want to relax after their journey.
The rooms are incredibly spacious, and the furnishings as mentioned are high quality and very comfortable. The bed was dreamy with just the right amount of firm mattress to soft pillow for me. The sweet wooden deck off the well stocked kitchen was surrounded by shrubs and plants from the other Edwardian and Victorian homes, and made for a magical morning coffee space for quiet reflection and meditation.
Knowing just how expensive it is to rent/live in the bay area I would say that Mary’s place is a super affordable getaway, and I would urge either a business trip, work or home transition or comfortable small family vacation. For me, renting it was perfect when my own Bnb is getting worked on with spring cleanings and repair. I look forward to coming back!
