I stayed at Doug’s place for about 5 months or so. The room looks exactly as pictured. I loved that each room has its own bathroom. The room was just what I needed, had enough space & drawers, nice, and clean.
Communication with Doug is also very easy as he responds very quickly in an hour or less and is helpful.
The kitchen and common areas are routinely cleaned and maintained by the owner. I liked that there is a decent variety of cooking items & kitchen appliances like an oven and mini toaster oven that make the place feel homey and comfortable. The only thing you may need is a couple of eating utensils.
The neighborhood and location is also great. There is always street parking nearby and the neighborhood is a safe and quiet residential area with tons of great restaurants to try. It is also close to UCSF Parnassus. If you are a student like me, I would recommend this place since the neighborhood and house is quiet and perfect for studying/resting. I think the layout of the rooms help keep everyone comfortable and maintain privacy, as no one really hangs out in the common areas. I also got lucky with room mates who were very kind/pleasant. I felt like I got really lucky, and could not have asked for more from my stay!
