What a perfect place to stay when visiting the city! When my family decided to spend some vacation time visiting San Francisco, we had to decide what we wanted in a place to stay. Staying in the city sounds great but can be very expensive for a hotel room that we'd all have to share (plus it's difficult to find a room with two beds that have larger than full size beds and my husband and I are spoiled and want a queen or larger) and that's without any on-site parking in most cases. I started looking into Airbnbs in the area and we ultimately decided it might be nice to stay outside of the city, so we could get away from the hustle and bustle after a long day of tourist-ing.
Arlene's place immediately made our top ten list because the gorgeous location right on the ocean. Plus, it had free parking just steps away and a perfect configuration of beds for myself, my husband and our two teenaged kids. Honestly, it was a no-brainer.
When all the reviews say they can't believe how accurate all the photos of this property are, believe them! Everything was exactly as pictured. We were unable to unwind in the living room at night, watching movies on Netflix, have some breakfast before heading out in the cute little kitchen... everyone was impressed with the high tech bathroom (we are completely ruined for regular toilets now). I even loved leaving the windows open at night (we like a cooler bedroom anyhow) so we could listen to the waves as we fell asleep.
If we ever come back and this property is available, we will be staying here!! It was so convenient for the activities we wanted to do (the BART station is super close and my kids really enjoyed riding the train into the city) but with a sweet little small town feel in the neighborhood. The perfect place to stay.
