I had a good experience with Irene, she's very kind and thoughtful. The room was clean and spacious. She also let us use her kitchen. The private bathroom is outdated but still very clean, we didn't mind it at all. Only challenge I had was the location, although the view from her kitchen was to die for! It's about a 20 minute walk from the closest public transportation and that could be a challenge, even from someone who lives an active lifestyle. Walking down the hills isn't much of a hassle but going up the steep hills was very energy consuming specially after a day of walking around the city. My bf and I decided to take Lyft from the closest transportation back to Irene's since we were able to get $50 credit. In addition, it takes about 45-60+ minutes to get in the city but once you're there it's fairly easy to use Bart, Muni, etc. So if you're planning to stay out of the city for a cheaper Airbnb, make sure you don't mind those challenges or you can simply just rent a car. Our mistake, next time I would probably just stay in the city.
