The Sunset Surf Shack is located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, a couple blocks from the beach. Avenues Coffee is right down the street, which is worth the visit for the spam musubi alone. There are several eateries nearby. Parking on the street wasn't an issue, just need to pay attention to the street sweeping schedule.
The neighborhood is safe and I felt comfortable going for some runs alone.
The Airbnb has a fully equipped kitchen. A full-size gas stove made it easy to make homecooked meals during my weeklong stay. There is a dedicated coffee bar which includes coffee beans, coffee grinder, and a Nespresso pod brewer with a detachable milk frother. There is also a small refrigerator (enough for a week's worth of groceries and takeout for 2 people). The microwave, blender, and toaster also came in very handy.
I worked primarily from the dining table which had a nice view out the window. Wifi connectivity was great and the internet connection was fast enough for me to be on video/conference calls for work and stream movies on the TV with no issue.
The queen size bed was very comfortable and there is even an inflatable mattress, if needed, stowed away in the closet.
The living room has quite the collection of books and cacti which really added to the homey and cozy feel of the space. The decor was artsy and cute. There were little details throughout the Airbnb that truly made the place feel like home.
Elyse and Guy lives upstairs and was very communicative and easy to reach during the entire stay. They were so sweet and friendly.
Given the opportunity, I would totally stay here again next time I'm in town.
