Ed is a warm and friendly host who is a responsive communicator. Comfortable bed, good water pressure, kitchenette with mini fridge and microwave. Guests are welcomed with bottled water, fresh fruit (including a lemon from the tree out back), and coffee fixings. The Airbnb is conveniently located in the heart of the Noe Valley, a quick walk up to the main drag, 24th Street, and Castro Street. The neighborhood feels safe and is quiet at night, helped by the fact that cross street Sanchez is a "slow street," primarily limited to pedestrians. An easy walk for morning coffee and killer baked goods at the Noe Café, La Boulangerie, and Noe Valley Bakery, not to mention tons of great restaurants. Brunch at Pancake Boy on 24th is always a treat. While the Airbnb is nothing fancy, it fits the bill, gets some sunlight, and there are extra amenities like books, closet space, and steady WiFi. The only cons, which have been mentioned by other guests, are: the room is located at the back of a large street-level garage and to get there you walk through the garage and storage areas. While the rental room is nicely decorated, it has cement floors (with area rugs) and tends to be damp and musty. To mitigate the humidity, Ed recommends keeping the windows open but night temperatures can get chilly. There are numerous windows and a glass door that opens to the backyard. The yard was overgrown so I didn't get a chance to enjoy it but it has the potential to be quite pleasant and private. Also, the room's ceiling is paper thin. When people are home upstairs, you will hear every footstep, voice, and ringing phone. But by bedtime, everything is quiet - and I always travel with earplugs. For my purposes, the pros and great location outweighed the cons and the rental is a good value.
