Jeannie & Skate’s quirky place is exactly what you think of when you imagine a true SF stay. The house has so much character and it was more than enough room for our group of 5. As hosts, they’re lovely. Extremely responsive and kind. They stay in the upstairs part of the house, but are very respectful of your space. The downstairs has a mini fridge that’s stocked with some continental breakfast items and there’s filtered water at the house. The tap water in SF is absolutely delicious, so that’s not even necessary.
The garden in the backyard is a secret oasis with views of the whole city and the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. The neighborhood (Bernal Heights) has a cute restaurant scene within walking distance and the house itself rests right above the mission district (15 min walk). We’re from the NYC area so being in a walkable neighborhood is important.
**Keep in mind** when I say “Walkability” I mean proximity to everything. Surviving steep SF hill and treacherous sidewalks is a whole other discussion 😅
There are cats at the house and they like to come hang out. Be mindful of that when booking. One person in our group has allergies, so she took medicine and we kept the cats out of the sleeping areas. It was not an issue.
Water pressure is great in the bathroom. There’s a small sink in the laundry room to wash dishes. Washer and dryer and great.
Overall, a perfect place for a weekend getaway to SF! We’ll definitely stay here again!
