Michelle's place wins for location and, as another reviewer mentioned, I don't think we'll ever stay in SF proper again given the lower cost to stay in a much larger place just minutes from the city with driveway parking. Daly City is easy to navigate, quiet, with easy access to markets and places to eat.
This property is just as described...mid-century, so expect that date stamp and age genre when you arrive...it's not fancy or upscale...it's like going to an Aunt's house, super tidy and on the older side.
The bedrooms are big and while the beds are firm, as another reviewer commented, we (who sleep on memory foam at home) all slept GREAT...My kids slept way in every morning which I don't know if that was helped by the beds or the quiet or they were just tired from it being the start of summer, but it was great. Zero complaints from them on beds.
The kitchen has a new/newer fridge and oven which were great and enough cooking gear for us to make everything we wanted. The only thing missing which would have been helpful are Ziploc bags or pyrex storage for leftovers, but we figured it out. If you're driving in and plan to cook, bring some storage for leftovers.
Bathrooms were fine...great water pressure, lots of hot water, we used the bath and showers and all were fine.
From Daly City we went into the City three times and drove to Muir Woods and the drive was easy, with beachside streets to help get around some of the congestion on the freeway. I can't say enough about how great the location is if you have a car. We also took Bart once into the city and that was super easy as well (if you don't have a car, you just have to find your way to the station which is maybe 2 miles away?)
I was a little worried about the prior reviews referencing a "smell" in the lower common room as well as ants. The lower common room just smells like a closed up room with old carpet and furniture...not like mold or wet or like anything is wrong with it. I used it to stream workouts every day and it has a large space that worked great. We didn't use the TV so I can't comment on that.
We saw a few ants in the kitchen and a few in one of the upstairs bathrooms which we killed with paper towels and it was fine...not at all an issue. We stores dried foods which were open (like graham crackers and cereal) in the microwave to be on the safe side and it was fine.
When we come back (hopefully soon-ish bc we had a great trip!) I would definitely consider staying here again.
Michelle was also great about checking in thru AirBnB messenger without being over the top or feeling intrusive.
