This was my very first AirBnB experience. The location of the apartment is pretty central and worked well for me given the fact that I was a short 8 minute walk from my office. The apartment was close to downtown and relatively clean on the surface -- but understand that my standards for cleanliness are pretty high. I was traveling with my 1.5 year old which is tough but he seemed to feel right at home. I wasn't too fond of all of the trees and shrubs out front as they triggered my allergies, also it just happened that we arrived during a heatwave and I learned the HARD way that air conditioning is a nice to have in the Bay area (or so I was told, I later saw it was not listed as available on the listing so my oversight). But the apartment was really hot the first tow nights I almost went out to buy a fan! That was my only qualm maybe just have a fan or two on hand just in case. Host was communicative and helpful, weather not so much! :)
