Overall, Josh was a great host and the unit lived up to expectations. I would recommend it for your stay in San Francisco. Here are some more detailed pros and cons for your consideration:
Pros:
- Great location if you are working or going to school in the Financial District.
- Reasonable price for the area.
- Josh was extremely responsive to all my messages and quickly came and fixed something that broke during my stay at a time that was convenient for me.
- The unit was well-furnished; I did not need to buy anything for the unit during my 10-week stay.
- The laundry in the basement was clean and easy to use (takes quarters).
- Check in and check out were seamless.
- There are lots of great restaurants, bars, corner stores and takeout places within a 5-10 minute walk of the unit.
Cons:
- Neighbors in the building are a little weird. I didn't have many interactions with them, but the ones that I did have were uncomfortable.
- The area is extremely hilly, even for San Francisco.
- The street was quite noisy in the mornings, with garbage and recycling trucks coming several mornings each week between 6 am and 8 am. This may have been based on temporary construction in the area.
- The closest grocery store is a 10-15 minute walk.
