This was my first AirBNB experience, and hands down it could not have been any better!

The Host:
Rafe was incredibly welcoming from the get-go and very accommodating during our stay. He gave the perfect amount of attentiveness by asking if we needed anything (via AirBNB chat) while still respecting the privacy of his guests. My partner and I stayed in during one rainy evening, and Rafe was very considerate by informing us that he and his son were watching a flick upstairs and asked if the volume was too loud (it wasn't). Similarly, we were watching movies on my laptop and Rafe went ABOVE AND BEYOND by coming downstairs (in the rain) to lend us one of his personal HDMI video cables so we could connect my laptop to the HDTV! Best. Host. EVER.

The Place:
Yellow Butterfly is exactly as described on the listing. The neighborhood was nice and quiet throughout our entire stay, and the loft was rather spacious and cozy. There's a digital keypad on the front door which makes it very convenient not having to worry about losing a physical key. It was extremely clean upon arrival with plenty of towels / extra pillows to spare, and the Internet / Wi-Fi was perfectly fine (averaging 180 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload). It was a mere 3 minute walk from Philz Coffee, various restaurants, and MUNI bus stops. The only thing we felt was missing was a kitchen sink (which is clearly stated in the listing), so we just washed our dirty dishes in the bathroom sink.

Overall I would highly recommend staying here! It's no wonder as to why Yellow Butterfly and Rafe have a 5-star rating -- he's definitely earned it :)
