This place is an awesome find! Steven's responses were prompt and with the utmost courtesy. Easy instructions provided regarding the home and check in. It was toddler friendly and we felt at home right away. We came with our family and a couple of friends from out of town. As a mother I wanted to find a place that had a full kitchen (traveling with kids and a kitchen is very important to me) and a space for the kids to go out and play and was also budget friendly.

The home was a good distance from San Francisco. It takes about 45 mins - 1 hr from the home at prime travel times when people go to and from work plus toll wait time. Without traffic and tolls it take about 20-25 minutes.

The home was in a transitional neighborhood, a bit rough in certain directions, but became decent after a couple of blocks or so. There are many restaurants near the area and shops that are within 5-10 mins driving distance.

The home itself was charming! Very unique. After entering the home you forget the surrounding area. It is on a nice quiet dead end street with friendly neighbors and a neighborhood garden. Parking was decent. We drove a large truck and had to park on the street.

Even though our main objective for traveling was to enjoy our time in San Francisco, we spent breakfasts and dinners at the home for our entire stay. We grabbed food from Trader Joes not too far away prior to arrival. It was very convenient and we saved money. On one of the nights we BBQ'd and hung out in the tree lit back yard. The kids enjoyed the swing set that was outside as well.

The home has a cat - President Fluffington, D.C. He is adorable and friendly and a hit with the kids. Just fed him fresh food daily. No litter box in the home... he does his business outside. Saw him mostly in the mornings and evenings at feeding time. He'll let you know when he wants a good rub. He's vocal and not shy to ask for one.

The home is made for family time and lots of interaction. There is no cable and only 1 TV in the home in the middle room. WIFI is available. Several musical instruments to play in the family room. I never once watched TV nor went on the internet to pass time.
