Margaret‘s place is everything we hoped for in a home away from home and more! We stayed for a month and enjoyed every day and were so sad to leave. The apartment is beautiful, quiet and has everything you need. The bed is comfy, the kitchen is fully equipped and the bathroom is loaded with plenty of towels and a selection of natural care products. You won’t miss a thing. Check in was super easy. We came with our car and had no problem to find street parking in the area. Just consult the maps online that show you where resident parking areas end and remember to move your car to a different spot every 3 days and you’re fine. Was never a problem for us. One of the best parts of the apartment was the backyard garden, a true oasis where you can sit outside in peace and quiet, enjoy a few rays of sunshine, watch the humming birds and just relax.
Margaret is a wonderful host. She was always available for us if we had questions and she is such a nice person. It was great to be her guest.
The location was perfect for us, too. Cole Valley is a beautiful neighborhood with Victorian houses and a true, local neighborhood feel to it. Make sure to try a milkshake at the ice cream parlor on Cole Street and have dinner or brunch (or even better: BOTH) at Zazie. It is just a few minutes to Haight Street, Golden Gate Park, and Amoeba Records. It‘s not far to other areas of the city either, as Cole Valley is very centrally located and there are bus and street car connections close by as well.
We can’t recommend Margaret‘s place enough and hope to come back many times in the future!
