Andrew's studio is awesome and he was absurdly regardful of all our needs.
The location couldn't be better, the studio is In the heart of Mission - close to everything (restaurants, shops, parks, cafes, cool spots, etc).
We really enjoyed staying in the apartment. The location is perfect for exploring the Mission district. It's close to a great park, and has a secure entrance. Fantastic restaurants, shops and bars are all literally just a few steps away. The only complaint we would have is that two of the three bay windows which face the neighboring building need curtains for more privacy.
The apartment is nice, but it's not the focus. The location is the real focus here. It doesn't get any better if you want a real feel for SF. You're in the heart fo the Mission, steps from the park and the many of the greatest restaurants and shops in the city.
Great location in a nicer area in Mission, with all the nice eating spots and transportation nearby, the place itself is somewhat smallish but nice, the only drawbacks are lack of curtains with the neighbors' windows being very close and kitchen and bathroom would be better off with some renovation, but Andrew is nice and quick to get back to with answers/comments. A great value for money for a short stay.
Andrew was very communicative throughout the process. We had a little snafu with check-in but it all worked out ok and Andrew handled it despite the fact that he was in Mexico and communication was tough.
The place itself is in an amazing location... Doesn't really get better if you want to be in the mission. It was clean and as expected. Also the bed was very comfy.
If you're looking for a reasonably priced spot in a great location, go for it.
Great location. Cute apartment. Bathroom is old and has a two-faucet sink. One of the faucets gives out warm water and the other trickles cold water. Would be nice if that could be remedied. It was mostly clean--a little too much dust to warrant a $60 cleaning fee. Also, the beautiful large windows could use curtains as you're a bit exposed. Andrew was communicative and answered emails and calls quickly. Includes Apple TV with free Netflix which was great.
Though we had a communications snafu at the beginning (time zone problems--Andrew was in Tokyo), everything worked out fine (the airbnb people were fantastic), and Andrew's small, clean, comfortable, quiet, and fantastically located studio was perfect for this pair of visiting grandparents.
Andrew, Joe, and Steph were fantastic guests! They left the place in immaculate condition.
Not only did we have the rare honor of hosting Airbnb management,
but they also happened to be our very first guests since joining this site.
We're sold on Andrew and the Airbnb experience.
It was great having Andrew and his friend in our villa. They enjoyed their stay and we enjoyed having them around.
We look forward to see them in Valencia again soon!

Andrew was great guest: he was very friendly and left the cabin very clean. It was also fun to finally host an airbnb employee and having contact with him was very helpful. We would definitely welcome Andrew back.
Curious . . . smart . . . attentive . . . quiet . . . and, so very busy exploring my home turf (Carmel-Monterey), I barely knew he was around. A+++ rating (if there is such a thing?).
Andrew was an outstanding guest! From the minute he walked through the front door to last minute standing on Chicago Ave as he left back to the airport. We had a fun tour of the neighbourhood, showing him all the little shops, lunch in Wicker Park, taking the EL (elevated train) to go thrift store shopping and then packing, showing him all the goodies would fit into his suitcase. We laughed, exchanged stories, worked at our computers silently as well. From drinking tea in afternoon to... Plus »
