We stayed in Atam's apartment for almost 6 weeks when we were moving abroad between when we sold our house and our departure date. We had our 2 cats and dog with us. Everything was exactly as we had hoped for our last few weeks in San Francisco. First, the apartment is actually better than the photos--spacious, light, and very practical. The kitchen is well stocked and very usable--we cooked our meals regularly there. There is a beautiful garden that you reach from the downstairs room that we used quite a bit. In addition, Atam was a wonderful host. He was friendly and helpful when we needed him, and very flexible and accommodating. The washing machine in the apartment broke while we were there, and although he replaced it very quickly, he also allowed us to use his machine whenever we asked until he was able to get the new one. The location is great--walkable to the heart of the Castro, to Noe Valley and to Twin Peaks, and accessible to many restaurants and transportation. In summary, we loved this place.
