Mission District Views from Private Floor with Attached Bath

Your room and attached bathroom occupy the entire first floor. You get as much privacy as you like and can access the common areas of the house on the second floor. The space features well-crafted furnishings using solid wood, marble, and steel. (Just because you’re a visitor doesn’t mean your room should feel temporary.) After a day in the City, slumber in a foam-top, queen-sized bed outfitted with 100% cotton sheets and down comforter/pillows. Of course, synthetic options are also available. Watch the City from the comfort of your own chair and bedroom windows. There’s also a desk to get some work emails out. A large wool rug adds warmth to the room’s solid hardwood floors. In addition to the full closet with wood hangers and a luggage tray, efficient storage in the room provide plenty of space for your belongings. The in-room TV is 46 inches and has its own AppleTV with Netflix, Hulu and HBO included. Plug in and recharge with smartphone cables at the ready on both nightstands. Get a feel for Silicon Valley and control your lights with smarthome light fixtures. For those of us who prefer more traditional technology, there’s a k-cup coffee maker and a mini-fridge for any leftover you bring home from SF’s many fine restaurants. Your private, ensuite bath is stocked with natural hair and body care products from San Francisco’s own Griffin Remedy. Cotton swabs and toothbrush/paste are provided. The rainfall style shower has strong water pressure. 100% Pima Cotton bath towels and mats are provided and replenished. In addition to a hair dryer, there’s a shaving/makeup mirror for you to look your best in our fair City. Your in-room minibar is complimentary and the house has high speed internet everywhere. Your area on the first floor is fully stocked for a great stay - even if you don't take advantage of the common area upstairs. Should you chose, make yourself at home in the living room and attached deck. You will not share the space with any other Airbnb guests and can use it during the day and in the evenings. It’s a great place to bring your morning coffee and plan your day or have a night cap and rehash the day's adventure. During the weekdays, you'll likely have the house to yourself in the mornings. The stove and oven are not available for guest access, but feel free to use the microwave in the kitchen. Please only eat at the dining table and clean the dishes right after you are done eating. The dining table is also a great place to get work done while watching the tropical fishes in the salt water aquarium. Think of me as your personal concierge. I’m an Airbnb regular when traveling for work and fun - so I’ve got a pretty good idea on what makes for a great trip/host. I’ve also lived in San Francisco for over 20 years - first as a starving college student and now as someone with a steady paycheck. I know the City from every budget and interest angle. I’m available to help you make the most of your stay whether you are a first time visitor or a seasoned business traveler. If you just need a place to sleep, your space on the first floor is completely private and carefully appointed so you immediately feel at home. You’ll be able to use all of its amenities without any interaction with me. If you are more social, I love meeting new people - especially over food and drinks in the evenings. Bernal Heights is a special neighborhood. It feels like a small town while still being centrally-located. It's easy to live like a local or visit all the tourist spots without battling the traffic. With an 83 Walkscore, you are close to the action. Walk to Harvest Hills Market, Precita Park Cafe, Hillside Supperclub, and two corner markets. 24th Street and all of its amenities start at just three blocks away. All forms of shared and public transport are also right in the neighborhood. Rent bikes at Ford GoBike station, electric bikes at Scoot, and cars at Zipcar. 24th Street BART Station is a 20 minute walk away. One bus ride takes you to Union Square and the Cable Cars. Proximity to the 101 and 280 makes for quick freeway access to and from SFO, Silicon Valley and Wine Country. It also makes things super easy and quick for Lyft/uber. Unlike many parts of San Francisco, street parking remains free in Bernal Heights. Parking can get busy at the end of the work day, but I’ve never had a problem finding a spot. Complimentary disposable slippers are provided - just like a good luxury hotel. Please use the slippers, your socks, or go barefoot in the house (just no shoes). San Francisco is both beautiful and dirty. Flexible check-in and check-out times may be available with advance notice. At a minimum, we can arrange for you to store your luggage at the house. Most important, San Francisco is a diverse, open, and progressive town. Everyone is welcomed to book here. National origin, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or political affiliation is not as important as being a nice person.
