This was our first experience using AirBnB, so not only me, but also my girlfriend, we were kinda of anxious because was our first time in a different country. But we were blown away. The cottage is cozy, clean and super elegant. Radhia and her husband (Patrick if I am not mistaken) had already set up everything for us: Clean towels, dish ware (we used it to have a small dinner one night) complimentary bottles of water and pepsi.

The checkin process is awesome, there is a free/open GuestNetwork that has signal just outside the house. Enough for us to read the email and AirBnB app, to follow the instructions Radhia personally sent us within a Doc with pictures.

Although we got there pretty late (almost at midnight) and even without meeting them we easily got inside the cottage.

One thing we thought was kind of odd is that the neighbourhood is pretty dark at night time, and the first time, we missed the location because we forgot that her street make a right angle curve when crosses another, kinda weird. Some people said the internet was bad, that's not an issue anymore actually there is another network just for the cottage with strong signal and fast internet (I measured around 20mbps/dl) I watched netflix seamlessly. I had the T-Mobile wireless hotspot with me, but unfortunately as someone has already said, the signal reception is not the best. (Not big deal for me)

Another excellent thing is that Radhia prepared an awesome guide that covers everything we would need! From the public transportation options (unfortunately we didn't used the famous BART system) to emergency measures in case of an earthquake! Fantastic!

In the Sunday we woke up late, so we went by car to the SF Bay Area, afraid of the parking issue. We were very fortunate to park in a street near Pier 33 where the parking meter said that on Sunday its free for the day (I even asked an officer around).

We unfortunately couldn't spend much time with our hosts but the brief moment (one day in the morning) we met they were very welcoming and warm. As we are from Brazil, it's was nice to know that the actual picture of Radhia on AirBnB was taken in Brazil, we were very happy!

Our checkout process was also very simple, we didn't meet again because Radhia and her husband were away (and told us of that beforehand, leaving ways of contact in case of an emergency) and everything was again seamless. We hope we didn't do anything wrong (was our first time using AirBnB) and hope we didn't got you guys trouble if so, wasn't intentional and please contact us!

Hope I can get back to SF Area and stay again!
