My very first Airbnb stay and it was wonderful. Alex is a friendly and chatty host who makes you feel comfortable. The house is easy to find, located off the 101 Embarcadero exit. The house is on a quiet street corner with plenty of street parking for my car.
Room is quite adequate for a single person with enough storage to keep your stuff. The bath is across the hallway and is top notch. Bed and linen are first class and very comfortable. Alex provides some space in his refrigerator to store a limited amount of food. Good French press coffee and tea is available along with crockery and cutlery. The cleaning lady comes once a week and changes your sheets and towels. Since I stayed for ten days, access to laundry was important. There is a good washer and dryer unit in the garage.
The neighborhood is residential and very safe. The only negative is that there is no eating place within close proximity though there are cafes and stores within an easy 15 min walk. WiFi internet access is available. You get your own key and can come and go as you please.
The house has gardens on two sides and when the weather is good, makes for great places to sit and read or eat.
