Dave

GREAT location. The apartment is small, but they both respect your privacy and space so well that is doesn't feel small. And they both share my enthusiasm for bread!
December 2011
Josh

Alyssa was generous and friendly. The apartment was perfectly located and we had a great stay, despite the rain.
Luis

Perfectly situated, the "Sunny mod room" is near to everything and Alyssa is really a very sympatic person. Staying for only two working days we, unfortunatelly, could not have time to enjoy a better relationship with hostes as they had to work, of course. The room is clean, spacious and have a lot of books, magazines and an amazing colection of vinyl records, cds and all sizes of rhynos. Besides to be an air inflated bed, it's confortable, well sized for two, stable and well prepaired. The... More »
Cheryl

Alyssa and her partner were lovely and kind. Their apartment is located in the Nob Hill area, close to downtown and many bus routes. She offered amazingly good coffee in the morning, taught me to use their Chemex maker; much better then an electric coffee maker, and way better then those over-priced pod coffee makers. She had fruit, bagels and good cheeses available for breakfast. I didn't see a lot of my hosts simply because I had a very busy schedule, but they were always accommodating and... More »
Molly

I had a wonderful, comfortable stay at Alyssa's. She and Nicholas are terrific hosts and the (awesomely decorated) apartment is in a great location. Not much else I can add that the other reviewers haven't already touched upon. Highly, highly recommended!
Sharon

The apartment is incredibly beautiful and perfectly located! Alyssa and her husband are great people,nice to chat with and helpful in every possible way! Hoping to be able to host them and return the hospitality one day.
Patricia

Alyssa and Nicholas are amazing hosts! They're laid-back, welcoming and quick to help with whatever you might need. They're also generous souls who provided me with a great trip back home by gifting me with all the songs in their music library. For that reason alone they're going to heaven! I would definitely stay with them again.
Vanessa

Good location in SAF and very nice hosts that make you feel confortable in their house!
Karen

Alyssa and Nicholas are great accommodating and helpful hosts. The location is awesome, just a few blocks away from china town, and good breakfast places. We felt like we could walk anywhere. We felt very welcome in the apartment and they have a wicked record collection. The apartment is very cozy and cool. Highly recommended! Thanks you guys!
Heather

Alyssa and Nicolas are excellent hosts - they have such a cozy place to stay while running around San Francisco. Alyssa had great recommendations for art exhibits to see and galleries to visit. We loved the extensive library of art books as well as the wonderful furniture.
Stephen

Alyssa waited up for our evening arrival and greeted us warmly while showing us where we would be staying and sleeping. The accommodations were comfortable. We greatly appreciated the use of the kitchen to make food for the remainder of our journey!
Eliot

Alyssa and her partner are great. Very relaxed. Had a great night's sleep on the bed. Fantastic location and I walked away from my night there with a passion for rhinos and brewing my own beer. Highly-rec'ed.
Cynthia

Thanks to Alyssa & Nicolas for their great hosptitality, They are really well organise to receive people at home! The location of their place is close of everything and you can visit all the city by walk. Thank you for your good advice about San Francisco, specially the asian restaurant, we'll always remember the pot stickers! :)
Sara

My friend and I stayed for 5 nights with Alyssa. It was very low key, relaxing. We of course spent a lot of time out and about in the city and Alyssa had maps, brunch suggestions, etc at the ready for us. Very cozy place with a comfortable air mattress in the living room. I would recommend staying with Alyssa. A very positive first time using Airbnb!
Alan

very warm and friendly folks....comfortable and pleasant stay...highly recommend....
Fabio

Alyssa and Nicholas were very pleasant hosts! I had the chance to talk with Alyssa a bit and discover that we share a common Brazilian background. I also loved the Kwerks, the toys she makes, but could not bring them with me, as they did not fit in my suitcase. Their apartment have a very artsy vibe and it is full of personality. The location is very central, but just be aware that it is very hard to park during the evenings.
Ryan

After staying with a friend of a friend in Berkeley for a night, my friend and I were looking for a fun place to stay on our second night. I'm glad we found Alyssa and Nicholas! They are super friendly and their music collection is stellar! We were rushing around trying to accomplish all of the things we had planned but thanks to Alyssa and Nicholas we felt like we could relax a bit.
Angela

The sunny mod room was just perfect for our 3 night stay in SF. Cozy, comfortable, and wonderfully stimulating. Alyssa was a terrific hostess and we would gladly recommend her place to anyone stopping through. The location is centrally located to pretty much everything in the city. We had the best time and can't wait to come back. Thanks for the great hospitality Alyssa!
Jana

My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights. Alyssa and Nicholas were great hosts! It was really fun to stay here, a great spot in the city and within walking/bus distance of so many great places. Alyssa had great recommendations of fun places to go and directions. She also made us coffee and snacks in the mornings. Loved the music collections they have, and enjoyed the beautiful art and design work around the apartment.
Brian

Alyssa and Nick were rad folks, and offered a nice and chill environment to restore my bearings. They were very knowlwdgable about the city offered plenty of good advice. The location is good, with a number of markets and restaurants within a 3 block radius.
Michelle

We were a bit surprised to discover that the dining room (where guests stay) and the bedroom are connected, but quickly found out that there is a sliding door that Alyssa shut to give us some privacy. Overall we had a very nice stay and enjoyed visiting San Francisco with a place to stay in Nob Hill ! :)
Anais

We enjoyed our stay in SF and especially at Alyssa and Nicholas appartment. They are Amazing, Really Great people who helped us when we needed. Their apparment is AWESOME, a place of peace and well location. You can really have our intimity and the same time share with them.The Spirit of this place is peaceful, creative and warm like SF thanks to Alyssa and Nicholas. So it's a really good composition. We highly recommend this place for your stay in SF !!!
Eri

Alyssa and Nicolas are so nice. Friendly, creative and sweet. They made my day in San Francisco, definetely!
Nathan

Liz and I stayed with Alyssa and Nicholas for a week while exploring San Francisco. It was great! Alyssa made us breakfast and coffee almost everyday. We had a great time chatting while getting some down time. The kitchen was fully available for use and Liz even made soup one night! The bed was comfortable and we had plenty of space to ourselves. Highly recommended!
Marc

Alyssa and Nick were awesome. Relaxed, friendly, creative and knowledgeable about the area and SF as a whole, they made us feel right at home. Their colorful apartment is warm and welcoming -- a great place to wakeup in and retire to at the end of a long, hill-filled day. Definitely stay with these fine folks should you need a place to stay in San Fran! Oh, and their kitchen is AMAZING.
Chris

Alyssa and Nicholas were kind and engaging hosts. Their location (nob hill) is very central. Gente Boa: I came back one night and they had made the bed for me like little elves :). The only neg is that their place is relatively small but to be fair they do give you the biggest room with a view of the street (cool edwardian flats on the block). Cool thing was the 80's pop music tape collection in the bathroom - kept me smiling the whole time - lol
Joe

My girlfriend and I had the extreme pleasure of staying at Alyssa's for 6 nights. It was amazing! They're a super cool artsy couple. If you enjoy talking music, design, art, or anything creative, I highly recommend staying with them. Alyssa makes a wicked cup of coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Yann

We had a fine time with Alyssa and Nicholas, only wished we could have stayed longer and talk more Music and Art. Alyssa not only went out of her way to get me the key while I was at a conference, but also jumped on her computer at 10 pm to find a place to go listen to music (she has good taste indeed). Their place is perfectly located with easy access to everything, airbed is fine and the music collection is impressive. I will definitely come back next time I am in town. Thank you guys.
Nicholas

Alyssa is an amazing host with a great retro apartment. She helped with giving directions and provided juice, coffee, and toast in the morning, and also gave us our space. From her apartment, we were able to walk to Chinatown (short walk), the BART station (medium walk), and the Ferry Building (long walk). Comfy air mattress, great value!
Gary

Alyssa & Nicholas were very gracious hosts. With the hetic schedule i had while staying with them, they worked with me and never complained. I wish i had more time to sit and visit with them. Their home was close to many places to shop or sight see, the bus was also near. Would reccomend Sunny Mod to anyone considering using airbnb. Thanks Alyssa!
Jessica

Alyssa and Nicholas made our stay in San Francisco. Period. They were helpful, kind, sweet and generous. They made up the comfortable air bed with pretty blankets and cute pillowcases. We just loved staying with them! I hope we can return the good hospitality if they ever come to Chicago :)
Christine

We have little to add -- we loved the apartment, their rhinos, chairs, kwerks, duchamps, artworks, and prints -- and the furnishings made us wanna settle asap. The huge airbed is more comfortable than most hotel beds and the location is perfect for exploring the city on foot or using public transportation (chinatown is a 10 min walk, the restaurants, bars & midnight donuts on Polk street 3 blocks away). Unfortunately Alyssa and Nicholas were going on vacation themselves so we could only enjoy... More »
Uliana

I really enjoyed staying with Alyssa and Nicholas. They are great hosts and wonderful people. They were helpful and kind and even provided breakfast. Special thanks to Nicholas for his advise to visit Paso Roble. There are really good wines)
Sara

Alyssa and Nicholas' deluxe air mattress is an excellent spot to rest your legs after long days wandering the hills of S.F. Their spot is well situated, cozy, and charming; and they are the perfect Bay area hosts. We already miss listening to Heart on cassette while showering (though the selection is huge and you may prefer classics such as Culture Club, Tangerine Dream, White Lion).
Aydan

Alyssa was so kind and helpful. The location of the house was great . Thanks for everything :)
David

We really enjoyed staying with Alyssa and Nicholas. They are great hosts and wonderful people who really know their city. You can ask them any question about San Francisco and they will come up with tips and maps. We really enjoyed going to the antique market in Berkley, which we would never found ourself, having a picnic at Dolores Park and of course watching the Soccer World Cup at 7 a.m. Thanks so much for everything and for having us a very spontaneous second time. p.s.

Pablo

I stayed in Alyssa's place with my girlfriend for 2 nights. It was the first time I used Airbnb, and a great experience too. The apartment is perfectly located near everything that we wanted to see in San Francisco. The shop in the corner is super organic and has great produce. Eat the BBQ chicken which is cheap and great. Our stay was very comfortable. The air bed was good and spacious enough for both of us. Alyssa and Nicholas are very respectful. We haven't had much time to sit and... More »
Michelle

Our stay with Alyssa and Nicholas was very comfortable. The apartment is in a prime location and has a lot of charm. The aerobed was wonderful and we felt at home in their place. They were helpful and kind and even provided breakfast. I would definitely come back!
Kerry

Great stay with Alyssa and Nick! Very reasonably priced for the location and space.
Lisa

This was my first experience with airbnb and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Alyssa and Nicolas offered lots of great advice on where to go in the area and were extremely kind and considerate. Waking up to sunshine pouring through the bay window of their charming apartment was definitely a highlight! Highly recommended to anyone =)
Alexia

Alyssa and Nicholas are very friendly and we fell like in our home. WE love their home's decoration with many designer's chairs and furniture. I hope we see us again too.
Cynthia

Kind and accomodating hosts. Great neighborhood close to everything. It was great to meet Alyssa and Nicholas and feel welcome in their home.
Ezgi

Alyssa's place is uniquely decorated and cozy. We could only stayed for a night because we were 3 and it was a bit small for us. My mom was a bit concerned that the bathroom didn't have a lock, but I think it is not a must. The location was perfect, but parking was a bit problematic.
Jennifer

Comfortable spot in a great location with friendly and welcoming hosts. Easy access to buses everywhere that also connect to BART, but also easy to walk to nearby areas, including Russian Hill and the Tenderloin. I would definitely stay again. Alyssa was conscientious and offered travel advice, maps, guide books and several options for breakfast. You get a bit of street noise in the visitors' part of the apartment, but I like hearing the energy of the city going on around me. And the light in... More »
Johanna hofstetter

I stayed with Alyssa and Nicholas for 10 days and really enjoyed my stay and the time in San Francisco. They both are friendly, respectful and helpful. But most important I felt very safe with them since I was traveling as a girl on my own. They also were quite helpful with my further trip and gave me directions and help where it was needed. I loved their inspiring, artistic nature as well as their love for good music ( a huge collection of cds and records). Also there place is in a really... More »
Nicolas

I only stayed with them for one night, and unfortunately didn't get to spend more than 5 minutes talking with them. But I can say the airbed was really nice and they had clean towels for me too. I had a great night sleep. Thanks Alyssa and Nicholas!
Kelvin

Great location and very gracious hosts. Alyssa and Nicholas were very accommodating during my stay and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Ash

Alyssa and Nicholas were my first experience with airbnb and it was great. They are a charming couple and went out of their way to accommodate me and make me feel really comfortable.. It was like staying with old friends.. I spent a lot of time with them (no surprise) and I'm lad I did cos they are a beautiful couple with a love for scotch, great music, quirky art and wonderful reading. Their pad was comfortable. The airbed lived up to its name. The room large and airy. I never felt for a... More »
Maria

Alyssa and Nicolas are super sweet! Like staying with old friends, they made me feel very comfortable. Great location in Nob Hill, easy to walk everywhere. Thanks for the hospitality!
Naomi

Alyssa and Nicolas are a charming couple who are super sweet, conscientious, and very comfortable sharing their art pad---whichis a beautiful piece of work in itself. Guidoand I had a great time inSF, thanks to These guys who confirmed our emergency, lastminute booking an hour before arriving. They were lifesavers when we had a last minute decisionto need to be in SF.
Sarah

Matt and I had a wonderful stay with Alyssa. The space was private, the bed was comfortable, and she even loaned us a book with walking tours of the city. The apartment is within walking distance of plenty of San Francisco sights. Highly recommended!
Loretta

Like staying with a friend, except none of my friends are anywhere near as well set up as Alyssa! Great apartment, handy location, friendly and helpful hosts. 'Airbed in shared room' doesn't quite do justice to the comfort and privacy you'll get. All 'round, highly recommended. Be sure to ask for the 'So I married an axe murderer' tour of SF...
Vinh+stuart

Thanks for a most enjoyable stay Alyssa. Vinh & I are grateful to have spent our time in San Francisco stopping with you in such a warm and hospitable environment. We both had a great time. Thank you. Alyssa’s air-bed is more comfortable than the bed we slept on at the Fairmont Hotel the night before. The apartment is well located, with easy access to transport, and you can also walk downtown too. Staying with Alyssa you’re a short stroll to Polk Street restaurants, and Nic’s Crispy... More »
Brian

Alyssa was intelligent, charming, and very responsive to my needs. The neighborhood she lives in is nice and safe, with bus stops nearby that run until 2AM! Being able to walk to the downtown area of SF was nice. The air bed that she advertises was actually this giant professional air mattress and I think I slept better on her air mattress than on my own bed! I recommend any 1-2 person groups to stay with Alyssa, especially if your into crafts, design, or art.

Reviews From Hosts

Joseph

Alyssa and her husband stayed with us for only one night and it was too short. We enjoyed having them very much. Great guests. We would love to host them again.
October 2011
Kendra

Alyssa and Nicholas were wonderful and considerate guests. I would gladly welcome their return.
Shlomit

Alyssa and Nicholas visited Rockland during their honeymoon trip through Maine. They were perfect guests, except that they didn't stay long enough to continue the conversations we started. Bon Voyage and best of luck!
Meg

We are so happy Alyssa and Nicholas chose the Farmhouse for their first night in Maine. They are a sweet couple who I wish I could have seen more of but hope they have some great adventures this week! They were very considerate and even did their own dishes after breakfast. Please feel free to come again and safe travels home :)
