My wife and I stayed here for a month. We have stayed in over a dozen airbnb places in the Bay Area and this house is our clear favorite. Overall, we thought the house was well-stocked, everything worked, it was very comfortable, conveniently located, quiet, comfortable, and spacious.
More specifically by category:
LOCATION: Quiet, safe neighborhood. We really felt 'away from it all'. No nearby businesses.
8 minutes to the beach. 4 minutes to a neighborhood store. 7 minutes to the shopping center.
7-10 minutes to good take-out food.
Only 30 minute drive to Golden Gate Park. 25 minute drive to the Chase Center/UCSF. It was MUCH easier to get in and out of San Francisco than we expected, even during high-traffic times.
THE HOUSE:
You have the whole house. The house was clean and more spacious than expected. Two adult bedrooms and one child bedroom upstairs. Beds comfortable. 2 bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs is a family room and large couch, suitable for sleeping. A downstairs bathroom and separate entryway to the back deck make the downstairs space almost it's own unit. Good laundry facilities in the garage. A great place for small children or a dog.
The kitchen was better-equipped and stocked than almost all of the places we've stayed. The appliances worked and were of good quality. The 2-tiered back deck was terrific--a world away from urban sprawl. The neighbors were quiet. We didn't try the BBQ.
PARKING:
Easy. 2 spaces in the driveway plus street parking. We didn't park in the garage, though there is enough space.
THE OWNERS:
Katie and Zack were accommodating, gracious, and communicative. Easy to deal with, no hassles.
In sum, our whole experience was easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. If you want to have relatively easy access to San Francisco (much easier than the North or East Bay) while staying in a relaxing environment with easy access to outdoor activities along the coast, we would strongly recommend this house.
