This was my first time trying Airbnb. I was attending the National Championship 2019 football game in the Bay Area and had to give Airbnb a try due to the exorbitant price of the trip. The basic hotel room was several hundred a night. I totally hit the jackpot with Melissa, her son AJ, and their precious dog Penny!! The house is in a cul-de-sac that is quiet. The backyard is beautiful and very peaceful. The private entrance has a keypad so I didn't have to worry about keeping up with a key and this also made the check-in process super simple. Parking is free and directly in front of the house. The bed and pillows were comfy and there was a ceiling fan in case you are like me and need some noise to sleep. Within a mile of the house there are lots of good eating spots - I suggest Jake's of Willow Glen and Noah's Bagels- and also check out the Winchester Mystery House and Tech Museum! I always felt safe at the house and also leaving my belongings while I was out sightseeing. I seriously appreciated the suggestions they gave me about what to do while I was sightseeing!! Thanks to Melissa's suggestion, I ended up doing the Big Bus Tour in San Francisco and it was amazing! They also answered tons of questions about the area (I traveled from Alabama so I felt like I was on another planet). I definitely hope to return this summer when I have more time to stay and absolutely recommend Melissa's place!
