To summarise this hefty review: book this place! Clare is a wonderful host, her space was beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with our stay.
Clare’s apartment was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had since joining. My partner and I stayed for a week - we were greeted warmly by her at the beginning of our stay, and were surprised at the amount of living space that was offered to us. The room was beautiful, as was the patio and garden at the back. She gave us total privacy during our stay, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the supplied amenities (fridge, coffee machine, kettle, microwave) were all super appreciated and well-used. Whenever we had any queries, she was a quick text away and responded promptly.
About the area - it’s a 5 minute walk from the best breakfast in SF (in our humble opinion!), a place called Plow - so we made the most of that for a few mornings during our stay. It’s a friendly, safe neighbourhood, and we enjoyed a very quiet, relaxing stay.
In terms of travel; we took Lyfts and Ubers into town, which cost roughly between $8-12 - which was super quick, convenient and cheap when split between us. We also walked downtown one morning - whilst that was a longer trek, it was a pleasant 30-40 minute walk to downtown and provided a beautiful side of the city we hadn’t seen from our taxi rides.
We’ll definitely try and book Clare’s place again next time we’re in town. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
