The house was as welcoming as pictures suggest, and very clean throughout. Even though this is a 'lived in' and cozy home, there's no clutter and everything feels organized and cared for.

Kate made us feel like houseguests and trusted us to take care of her home while she was away. We enjoyed an extremely well-furnished and decorated home, complete with many identical appliances and amenities we have in our own residence.

It was perfectly-sized for two adults and 3 school-aged children; those with toddlers or elderly grandparents might find the beautiful shiny wood stairs a little difficult to manage, though our 'no socks' rule helped a lot.

For us, the location was ideal - a five minute walk north to the Presidio, and also a five minute walk to Clement Street restaurants and stores.
