My home was being rented out in 2016 and 2017 while I was in a nursing home…read more People stole items from my kitchen, used my drapes as napkins (which the cleaners did not catch, so they never paid to replace them). The cleaners used the wrong cleaner on my wood floor and I had to pay someone to clean, the floor was filthy and put more finish on the floor, they would not pay for it. They use substandard help. If you call them, the call is for sales only not for helping.

I hired Guesthop for about 4 years solid from the Pandemic of 2020 up until recently. Michelle and…read moreMisha were my contacts. Guesthop was always professional. And we had very few problems and whatever small problems there were, were quickly resolved. For any Airbnb hosts in the Bay Area I would highly recommend Guesthop as a great choice for Airbnb management.

I would not recommend this company. We unfortunately signed an extensive contract that we needed to…read moreread over more carefully. Here are some things to know: Guesthop will not help with trash removal- it is not something they do. If you cancel, Guesthop will take 50% of your earnings for any booking they obtained when you had them; that's right, 50 PERCENT. We are still paying them even though we canceled on August 8th. I just sent another check for $500...ugh. Ultimately, we will have paid them nearly as much as we earned for those 30 days. They will completely control your Airbnb calendar and charge whatever price they like. They dropped our nightly fee from $139 to $113 without our knowledge. We are now back up to $139 and fully booked without them. So far, we have paid Guesthop over $2,000 to manage our property for 30 days; our earnings were $5,000.00, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PAY THEM FOR MONTHS, even though we canceled. Keep in mind this does not include payment to cleaning staff. This payment is what Guesthop got for making phone calls and managing our calendar. When we had an issue, we still made multiple phone calls and went by the property to manage matters ourselves. We had someone break the window. Guesthop called one glass company, who gave an estimate for $2700, stating the entire window frame needed replacement. We said no; we got the glass replaced and had the pulley on the window replaced when we got home for $10. In addition, guesthop did not attempt to help us - stating the broken window was our fault. Even though three other professionals noted the damage was impact-related (i.e., someone threw something or put their hand through the window). The cleaning staff is excellent, and our property always looked lovely. If you would like someone else to manage your calendar, that's excellent, but we want to see our comments and what our guests are requesting or need. Guesthop takes away all access to your Airbnb listing. We learned our lesson: READ the contract carefully! We have found an excellent manager to work with that meets our needs. Final advice: shop around before you sign up with Guesthop.

If 'vintage French flair' means feeling like you got screwed, then this company has it in buckets…read more Avoid. We stayed in their garden apartment, which was not as described and the 'hosts' - who have 7 other rental properties in San Francisco - are the least accommodating people I have ever encountered. First their garden apartment, described on airbnb as a 2 bedroom. Not true. It does have one nice bedroom, the second bed is located in the entrance hall, about 2 feet from the front door, which opens directly onto 18th street. 18th street is pretty noisy, mostly the noise of drunks and tramps shouting at one another, possibly some were drunk tramps, like the one I found urinating on the front door when I arrived the first night. In any case, the noise is constant and the notion that putting a bed in an entrance hall makes it a bedroom is patently ridiculous. To cap it all the mattress has seen better days and sags heavily in the middle - if there are two of you, you'll wake up (should you sleep at all) on top of each other, and not in a good way. Secondly, garden described as having an enticing hot tub, which is 'constantly heated'. Hot tub empty, evidently disused for some time. Thirdly, garden also doubles as toilet for dog who belongs to owners of top floor flat. On the plus side the living/dining/kitchen is nice, the garden is lovely (except for dog turds as noted above) and the location is very central. It only makes sense if you absolutely have to be in the immediate area and don't mind paying a significant premium for what is essential a one bedroom apartment. As for the hosts, Alan and Jordan of Loft & Garden Properties, I never met them but they failed to return phone calls, emails and were generally pretty rude for people who presumably hope for repeat custom. To whit: we wanted to change dates, they wouldn't allow us to do so, no reasons given except a blanket 'no'. Also be advised that they strictly follow Airbnb's anti-refund policy. They are much better deals to be had in San Francisco - these people do a disservice to the notion of hospitality.

I've stayed in quite a few of the Mission Air BnB places - and the Treehouse remains my favourite…read more It balances convenience, location, facilities and price better than anything else. Specific pluses - location (especially for eating, but also as a chilled part of Mission), hosts (A'lan is super helpful and friendly), facilities (multiple levels for sense of space, modern appliances, quality of beds etc). The only gotcha - the steps from the top level bed are pretty steep - so late-night bathroom runs require sobriety and/or focus ;-)

THE WORST RENTAL AGENTS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH…read more I dealt with Damon and Marcela at the rental source, regrettably they're the least professional leasing agents I've dealt with. There was a serious mice infestation at the unit on Broderick street x McAllister street. I called, emailed and texted the leasing agents and didn't get any response. Like other people who provided feedback here recently, they just don't care about the tenants at all, they only reach out when they need something from you, Damon would call multiple times, leave voice message, speak to you in a tone as if you should respond immediately, yet when you reach out regarding other matters all they do is ignore your emails, call and messages. One of the leasing agents Damon showed up at the unit without any prior notice on a winter night at 6pm (I have never met him in person by this point), he rang the bell aggressively as a stranger and just expect the tenants to answer. I had a late work meeting and wasn't able to respond, by the time i responded to the bell, he came across agitated and expected me to be available at his own accord. He came to inspect a water leakage problem yet decided to completely dismiss and ignore the serious mice infestation. I do not recommend anyone renting any properties with the rental source, it's the worst rental company I've ever worked with - they literally do not care anything you nor your living environment

When I went to check the breaker as instructed by PG&E, the lightbulbs in the basement had been removed and it was pitch black. While I was trying to flip my breaker on, my back was turned and Ty Harris (who doesn't live in my building) came up from behind me and physically assaulted me. He hit me, threw me into a concrete wall, put his hands all over my body ripping at my skin, and chased me up a flight of stairs... I was bleeding from multiple areas. This is a premeditated assault. Violence.. There has been no apology from structure properties, no explanation for his behavior. Why do I have to explain to human adults that unlawful violence is bad?
