Attentive and personable, Pankaj and Sarah fall into the top tier of Airbnb hosts: they nurture an atmosphere of informal hospitality that leaves their guests feeling as if they have had an enjoyable stay at the home of a friend.

As for the accommodations, the second-floor Morocco room was comfortable, clean and quiet: the room faces Vermont St, which has very light traffic. The large walk-in shower in the en suite bathroom was a pleasure, the bed was just right and the linens were of high quality. The room also has a work desk.
The entire house, including fixtures, furnishings and appliances, appears quite new. The large common kitchen is well-equipped—large refrigerator, microwave, oven, plates, utensils, etc.—and the adjacent lounge area gives guests a chance to chat with one another and with the hosts.
From Pankaj and Sarah’s place it is a 5-minute walk to a Whole Foods, a 12-minute walk to both Linea Coffee Roasting, which offers some of the best coffee in the city, and Plow, which attracts long lines for breakfast and lunch, and a 25-minute walk to the Chase Center.
