I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay in the Master Suite. Alison's description of the amenities is very accurate but we were still very pleasantly surprised at how nice the room is. Mark was waiting for us when we arrived, greeted us warmly and gave us the grand tour. Lots of artistic touches throughout the common areas. The master suite is literally half of the top floor of the building. You have your own entry hall, a large beautiful bathroom and a spacious room with a cute little deck and a view of the Palace of Fine Arts and the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. The furnishings are all very beautiful with more of that artistic flair throughout. There are three huge sky lights on one side of the arched ceiling that flood the room with light and french doors leading out on to the deck to bring in even more sunshine or foglight if you prefer!
I feel it is important to mention that the the neighborhood of Cow Hollow is right in the heart of San Francisco, practically dead center! You're very close to all of the sights worth seeing, the Presidio, Golden Gate Park, the Marina, Fisherman's Wharf, etc!
Alison mentions this in the description, but I think it is worth reiterating to anyone with mobility issues that there are a lot of stairs, especially if you are staying on the top floor. I definitely learned that I need more time on the Stair Master! However, once you arrive at your room it's definitely worth the climb! One of the extra touches I loved was that when you make it to the second floor there is a nice container full of candy. The sugar rush gave us the energy to make it the rest of the way up to the third floor! Yum!
Another great option we were offered was the opportunity to park our car in their garage. Parking is a real issue in this area and we were planning on using Uber anyway so we were very pleased to take advantage of this option. I'm sure this is a first come, first served deal so you should arrange for this well in advance. In the reviews several people mentioned that they were able to find parking on the street but I surely did not see a whole lot of open spaces!
Anyway, bottom line is that Alison and Mark are incredible hosts and I would not hesitate to recommend their beautiful home to my fellow Airbnb'ers! Thank you so much for welcoming us in to your home!
