We had a fantastic 4 night stay at Garland's home, which was exactly as described and more! It was spacious, extremely clean, comfortable and felt like home away from home. Garland is very thoughtful and meticulous. His home was filled with complimentary snacks, (which we did not expect), board games and a folder full of suggestions on things to do in SF as well as instructions on how to get there.

His home is also decked with instructions on how to operate various appliances which were useful. However, we did struggle initially with changing to the shower-head mode and opening the lock box (which were both unfamiliar to us). Nonetheless, Garland and his friend Wayland were unfailingly helpful, patient and prompt in answering all our questions. This definitely ironed out the initial hiccups we had.

Garland's home is situated in a lovely quiet residential neighbourhood, about 5-10 minute walk from the nearby bus stop and little Chinatown. However, it does take about a 20 minute drive to the city and the average bus ride can range between 40-60 min, depending on where in the city you want to go. We didn't mind the distance but may be an issue if you're short on time.

Overall, an excellent AirBnB experience that I would recommend to anyone planning a trip to San Francisco!
