Lovely spacious flat, clean, and in a fantastic location. The entrance to the building from the street then leads into a private pathway of entrances to each property, making it feel really secure and safe. The bed was comfy, good water pressure and temperature in the shower, well equipped kitchen, cute outside space at back and bacony in front to catch the sun all day.

Our only issue was when we first arrived - Peter in the bar downstairs had lost the key! Marin had told us she would be out of the city, and Peter would have the key. (After an 11 hour flight it was difficult to be patient as he tried to find it and eventually had to call a locksmith) It wasn't deliberate of course, but after 2 hours waiting with our suitcases, it was dark outside in a city we didn't know and we were told it would be another hour - so we finally said that wasn't really ok. Peter was defensive and replied that he was doing his best and we'd have to take it up with the host. (I would have preferred him to say don't worry, we won't leave you without a place to stay tonight!) Unfortunately we could only get Marin's answerphone until just after this conversation took place (despite many emails stating our arrival time, Marin had noted down 8pm instead of 6pm) but by then the locksmith had got in, yay!

During the phone conversation Marin said she'd told us the key would be in a location outside the apartment, so the locksmith wasn't necessary. But this wasn't the instruction we'd been given, and anyway, the key wasn't there - when we finally got in, we found the spare keys inside the property!

We had a fabulous stay. Thank you to Marin for the lovely flowers and candies she brought to say sorry for the initial delay. I'm sure she will put safeguards in place to stop this happening again.
We would recommend staying in this apartment as it is in a great location for exploring SF with lots of lovely restaurants nearby.
