It doesn't get any better than this. Emily is a thoughtful and gracious host. She goes above and beyond what anyone should expect from airbnb. I stayed here for 2 months and immediately found the space to be clean and inviting. She had snacks in the kitchenette and was able to greet me on my arrival (she offered to pick me up but I had already made arrangements). This space has its own entrance, kitchenette (small fridge, microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle, etc) and bathroom. There is also a washer and dryer. I was able to do pretty much everything in the apartment, but was welcome to come upstairs to enjoy her amazing view of the city, her friendly company, exercise weights and videos, movies, large kitchen, and peaceful garden. She has everything you'd need and she's understanding and flexible. The other guests were very nice as well, and Emily creates a warm community with the perfect mix of interaction and privacy. I worked longer hours so wasn't able to hang out with everyone as much as I'd have liked. But when I did, it was very easy. The neighborhood is peaceful and on top of a hill, so it's one of the best views of the city. It's right next to the Caltrain (which was a big draw for me), and walking distance to other transportation. I walked everywhere and enjoyed views of the bay while I was at it. There are lots of great little shops around and it's close enough to hustle and bustle, but good if you want a break from the chaos once in awhile. Close to mission, downtown, etc. You won't go wrong in staying here and I can't say enough great things about Emily and her family. I was fortunate to find such a great place to stay! If I come back to the city, I'd definitely book with her again.
