This is the only place I have stayed in San Francisco, so I don't know how it sizes up locally. I have stayed in a few Airbnb's though and am using those experiences as control. Landlords can't control exactly who rents from them, but I had some pretty loud neighbors at one in the morning. I wouldn't bring it up, but the walls are thin. The listing photo was more inviting than the actual atmosphere in my opinion. That is fairly normal though. My only other complaint is both the bathroom and shower room ceilings leaked when it rained much.
