This was our very first AirBNB experience and it was great. We loved the privacy of our bedroom with our own private very large bathroom. We had access to our bathroom via our bedroom. We felt very safe too in the room. To access the room from the common area you could either go down the stairs on the outside of the room or there was a spiral staircase as well that you use via the common living room. The room we stayed in was quite large and had a large closet as well. It was very quiet in the neighborhood and the views out our windows and entry door were so pretty. You get a great view of the bay. Our room had locking doors and we never worried about our belongings. Everything was super neat and clean.
It was nice in the "common area" to have access to a full size fridge, stove, and nice living room area with TV. There also is a kitchen table to dine at as well. With so much to do though in San Francisco, we never turned the TV on. Everything you would need in a kitchen is there for use too. We did have another AirBnB guest in their own bedroom (and they have their own private bathroom as well) on site. We only saw that person a couple of times.
Being our first AirBnB experience, I was a bit nervous about how the experience would be but it was truly awesome. It is a very nice arrangement with parking on the street, we never had an issue finding a spot. There are several nice restaurants a short 3 block walk away and there is a great little grocery store even closer that we visited a few times. We left our car parked for the most of the time during our visit as the bus stops are not too far of a walk and that was the best way to get around town. (get a "clipper card" at Walgreens for public transportation).
Mark and Sarah were very friendly hosts and also gave us plenty of space too. If you are looking for an awesome place to stay at to visit San Francisco, I would definitely recommend Mark and Sarah’s place. Thank you again for a great experience! If we ever come back to San Francisco, we would definitely like to stay again with you.
