The room and location is just as described! But like another traveler stated, it's bigger than the pictures make it look! Totally clean, comfortable bed, speedy WIFI - perfect if you're in San Francisco for a couple of days to a couple of weeks. The apartment does have a strong smell but it's not unpleasant (it smells like someone else's home!) and you get used to it once you settle in anyway.

It really is a prime location, walking to all the hot spots in SF took max 30 minutes. It's right next to Polk St and a bus stop that takes you right into town. My favourite spot was Japantown which was only a ten minute walk away.

Jay was super, SUPER nice! When I arrived, she gave me a tour of the house and straight up took out a map and pointed out streets to avoid in SF (which was really helpful since it was my first time there) and also which streets are easier to walk up if you're heading to Chinatown. She's easy to talk to, very interesting and a gracious host - she gives you all the privacy you need.

I waited for the bathroom sometimes but only for about twenty minutes. It was no big deal. The kitchen and fridge is totally free to use which was handy. Washing machine and dryer were fine. Everything ran pretty smoothly while I was staying here.

The ceiling light wasn't very strong at all but the desk lamp helped pick up the slack. I would just suggest bringing a book light if you want to read in bed. The room also doesn't have a lock but Jay provides a door stop! No one bothered me while I was there though, I don't think it's a big problem.

I had a really good stay here! I would definitely recommend this place and I would stay here again if I ever find myself in San Fran again :)
