The room is in fact well insulated and generally quiet from street noise, however the occasional clicking noise from the water meter that is mentioned in the description of the room did keep me awake at night. If you are also a light sleeper I hope this helps as I barely slept for the two nights. If you are a sound sleeper I believe you would be fine. If you are a light sleeper you can expect that the clicking noise will wake you approx every 20 mins which was my experience. Also, the upstairs neighbours use their cloths dryer very late and you can hear this from the room also. I knocked on Melissa and Nicole's door and told them about the noise, they were very helpful and also concerned that I could not sleep and asked the upstairs neighbour to turn off the dryer which they did straight away. I was also told that the clicking noise was mentioned on the listing which it is. Unfortunately, I had lost one of my ear plugs and Melissa and Nicole didn't have any so there was nothing that could be done about the clicking noise. The good news is that Melissa and Nicole will have a pair of ear plugs ready and waiting for you after taking on my feedback if you stay here. Please note that The fridge also makes a noise and this also kept me awake, I could not turn it off as I had food in it.

The room was extremely clean when I arrived. It is VERY small and does look larger in the photos than it actually is however, it is incredibly functional and does have everything you could need. The size of the room is really only suited to one person, I could not image having two people in that room and certainly not two pieces of large luggage which is typical if you are travelling internationally. The shower is excellent. The sky lights and the block out blinds were great. The bed was very comfortable and there is a great choice of pillows to suit anyone's preference. The bath was good to have available also. The room is very secure and you will feel safe at night.

The Noe Valley is a nice area and I felt very safe as a female travelling alone. Please note that is neighbourhood is a long way from the main attractions. I took Uber everywhere and it was at least 30 mins each time to Fishermans Wharf, Pier 33 etc. Each Uber ride will cost you $12.67 USD. It took the Uber driver 45 mins to get me to Pier 33 because of extra traffic on the Monday morning so you need to really consider this and allow extra time.

Melissa and Nicole gave me a lovely welcome by writing a welcome message on a kids blackboard that I saw as soon as I walked in and it was really lovely and thoughtful.
