Jessica & Anton’s place is conveniently located within a 1 minute walk to the 19 muni bus which takes you to Market St and the 12 that takes you to the Mission. We lived here for 1.5 months.
The first bedroom is spacious and gets a lot of natural light and the second one is much smaller and darker as the window faces inwards. The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, pots, plates, a kettle, a coffee machine, a toaster and a microwave. We did need to purchase our own dish detergent.
The unit doesn’t get much natural light and is pretty dark without the lights on. Walls are also pretty thin as it is an older building but living here was quiet and peaceful.
When I arrived at the unit, the keys were not in the lockbox but Jessica was quick to respond and within 15min, I was inside the unit. The place was originally pretty dusty so I spent an hour wiping all the surfaces, the floors and also cleaned a bunch of crumbs and dirt from the couch/sofa bed (with Lysol and the provided Swiffer and vacuum). This place was generally clean, but I’ve just been to cleaner airbnbs before and given the $200 cleaning fee we paid as part of our airbnb fees, I did hope for the place to be cleaner.
When I first moved in, we didn’t have any garbage bags or laundry detergent but Jessica provided them for us after we mentioned they were missing. Additionally the dryer part of our washer/dryer combo wasn’t working but Anton came in a few days after we asked to repair it. As a 2 in 1 washer/dryer, it’s not very efficient and takes up to 3h to do both so I ended up hanging a lot of my clothes to dry instead.
USPS delivers mail directly to the mailbox, UPS will drop it off at a nearby cleaners (5min walk) if you’re not home and you should redirect FedEx packages to the local pickup centre as one of my packages was left outdoors and stolen.
I’m sure the little mishaps and cleanliness will be improved for future guests so I’d still recommend living here for short term stays! Jessica and Anton are fairly responsive and also nice people to interact with.
