My experience was half-half. I got a pretty good place, but since I was new to the area (my first visit), I was displeased when I got there and found the surrounding neighborhood very sketchy. I mean, the host was nice but I didn't want to go out past 8pm for fear of my safety. Hopefully in addition to photos of the room, they will also encourage photos of surroundings at both night and day!



Out of curiosity: what city and neighborhood was this?


Around this area: 239 8th Street, San Francisco, California, United States.

I have since learned that it is the norm and possibly fact for locals to realize this area is a bit more sketchy. But like I said, I'm not from Cali!


Yeah, SOMA is fine. Just steer clear of Hunters Point, and you'll be ok...
