It was our second stay at Ilya's place. We stayed there in December 2017 and, thus, returned a year later. This time we also got to use the washer & drier located in a common area (i.e., shared between the host and guests), and it was super easy to do on a short notice. This December was slightly colder, and heating devices provided by the host were very useful. This is a great place to stay in SF! Highly recommended.
