I believe in kismet and it was kismet that brought us to this listing. We had previously made reservations at another space but a week before we were to arrive the host cancelled our reservation so I had to go looking again and found this one. I really can't say enough good things about our stay here with Jordie and her lovely 4 legged friends, except that I wished that we could have stayed longer and made use of all the lovely accoutrements that come with this apartment. Every aspect of it is top notch down to a set of beautiful wooden chopstix, which my son, the asian food connoisseur (we are part japanese) discovered. The whole place is outfitted for comfort and was a pleasure to return to after long days walking in the city. Jordie was so accommodating and we really enjoyed chatting with her about the house as,design wise, it was beautiful (her Grandfather's paintings on the walls are so cool, very reminiscent of Jacob Lawrence) and so up our alley. We felt at home, which is saying a lot. This is not your run of the mill home, it's exceptional. Also, we greatly appreciated the convenient location to the Macarther BART station as the Bay Bridge was closed while we were there and we took the it daily in and out of the city. We also discovered the little food/shop mecca that is Temescal, and right around the corner is a very popular, excellent bagel shop where we would eat breakfast and have coffee on the way to the BART, though we could easily have made a gourmet meal in the COMPLETELY outfitted, gourmet kitchen. Spices and all. We look forward to our next visit to the Bay area and will undoubtedly try to stay here again with these lovely people in their lovely home.
