We needed a comfortable home to stay in near the Davies medical campus (6 minute drive away), and this was absolutely perfect in terms of proximity, comfort, comfort and convenience. Parking was readily available, which was what was expressed in Anna and Alex's description. Bummer that it's only 2-hour parking from 8a-9p, but that's nothing they can control. It's SF. It's that way everywhere. The pictures do not do justice to the layout of this inlaw. Each bedroom is private and far enough away from each other that there is not a noise issue. The door on the first bedroom (the room you enter into) is slatted, so noise from the tv does filter into that room quite easily. I don't imagine this will be an issue for someone who isn't convalescing.
There were plenty of amenities, and to my absolute joy, there was a hot water kettle. It may have been in the description, but I'd forgotten. We drink a lot of tea, and it also helped for boiling ramen noodles. Upstairs "noise" was no different than living in a bottom unit of a 2-story apartment. My texts were answered timely and with so much care. We needed an extra hour to check out, and we were accommodated graciously.
Also - there's a towel warmer! This inspired me to offer up a gift idea for my husband's xmas/bday combined. Thanks for the inspiration!
We will seek out this unit again when we can spend time in the Castro the way it's meant to be spent - shopping, dining, and enjoying all the sights. This is an "old digs" neighborhood for me, from about 30 years ago, so it felt extra special to be able to be so close to a part of the city I hold so dear to my heart. Big thanks to the hosts. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay.
