The apartment was adorable and on a quiet street. John met me with keys when I first arrived. He gave me a quick overview of the neighborhood (where to buy food, beer, etc.) and offered to pick me up something from the store. He was incredibly friendly and I wish I had more time to talk to him!

The room was clean and nicely sized. The futon bed was comfier than I expected and the TV had Netflix set up. The room was comfortable and had clean sheets, pillows, towels, and toiletries. The bathroom was cozy, but the shower had great pressure and a nice collection of hotel-sized shampoos and conditioners. In the kitchenette, there was a nice selection of snacks (e.g. chocolate, chips) and food (e.g. mac and cheese) in case I got hungry!

The neighborhood was fine during the daytime, but I was a little worried about getting lost at night, so I used Uber. I saw plenty of young professionals walking to work in the mornings. There was a small market about 2 blocks away that had great fresh produce and snacks. There was a great brunch spot a few blocks away. The Golden Gate Park panhandle was about half a mile away (I jogged there).

I had a wonderful first Airbnb experience and would book with John in a heartbeat next time I am visiting my nephew in San Francisco!
