Just returned from a six day stay at Eileen’s apartment; it is exactly as described, and even lovelier than the photos show; natural light illumines the space throughout the day. I spent a pleasant hour sitting in the garden one morning and also enjoyed the view of it from indoors. The kitchen is well equipped and Eileen has thoughtfully stocked the cupboards with spices, oil, etc, along with a selection of coffee and tea. Anyone who wanted to cook a “real meal” would have no trouble doing so. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was immaculate, and lighting throughout the space is excellent – something few hotels can claim! I almost felt guilty having so much space to myself; a couple would be very comfortable here, as would a (small) family group. Eileen was a responsive, but unobtrusive, host replying promptly to my text with questions about the apartment but otherwise leaving me to my own devices. I was delighted that unplanned encounters allowed me to meet both Eileen and Howard. They were friendly and welcoming and reiterated that I should feel free to contact them with any questions. Eileen and Howard live upstairs and, just like at home, I could occasionally head footsteps or the water running, but no conversation, or tv/radio/audio sounds filtered thru – they are very quiet! Eileen’s apartment is in a great location, near a major street with several Muni transit routes close by and is an easy walk from shops, restaurants, and Golden Gate Park; that, plus its proximity to my daughter’s apartment, was a big plus for me. On the downside, traffic noise was audible both in the garden and inside the apartment; however that is almost inevitable in a large city and it neither interfered with conversation nor with my sleep (and I am a light sleeper!) so I offer this comment as a point of information rather than a complaint. This was my first Airbnb experience and I was a little nervous going into it, not knowing what to expect. The great experience I had staying at Eileen’s apartment has made me a convert and I hope to stay with her again on my next trip to San Francisco. I highly recommend Eileen’s Airbnb place.
