I moved to SF to do a 10-week internship. PJ is an incredible host. She is super nice and welcoming, very helpful and a kind person.
We had a good amount of communication before I get there and she got me a kettle since I told her that I drink tea in the afternoons. Also all the linens and towels were brand new for the room.
The day that I checked in, she opened a bottle of champagne for me, got me dinner and then in my first day at work, she gave me a ride to my company because I didn't know the city well. She was always available for any questions, for helping me seeing around or sometimes for small personal chats. PJ was kind enough to let me use all her kitchen utensils and she even shared her zip keeps with me to put my food etc in. She once gave me a couple of tea bags too. She had emptied two sections of her fridge for me and I had enough space to put my food there.
My husband came to SF during the last 5 days of my internship and PJ welcomed him as well. The Queen bed in the room was ample for both of us.
I cannot say enough about the location of this place: its balcony opens to the ocean, Safeway is right across the street and two bus stops with three bus lines are within a walking distance. When I was returning home at evenings, I would grab something from Safeway and sometimes would go for a walk in the beach.
Somethings worth noting include:
-It's advertised that the house has washer/dryer. PJ's told me that they are not working though. I used the building's coin laundry located in the first floor during my whole stay.
-PJ works from home, in fact the living room is her workplace and she is home MOST OF THE TIME. Her work also includes a lot of phone conversations. It was ok for me since I was at work during the week and then was seeing around during the weekends. But sometimes I hesitated to use the kitchen thinking I might bother her. During the times I did however, she seemed ok.
-PJ provided me one bottle of Shampoo and Conditioner, one soap and one hand wash liquid upon my arrival. She also gave me a box of toilet papers, a half-opened box of cotton balls and cotton swabs. I ran out of the hand wash in the first two weeks and asked if she had another one, which she didn’t. After that, I bought them myself, as well as the shampoo and soap.
All in all, PJ is an incredible person, and her apartment is an awesome place to stay. I definitely recommend it.
