Great central location and very easy access to public transit. Parking in the area is fairly easy for city parking, but you might not get a spot right out front. Insider tip: Muni (the local public transit system) is now free for youth 18 and under.
Communication with Selim was easy and he was able to quickly answer any questions that came up (like if it was ok to air out the place while we were gone, parking tips, etc). There are some well-stocked bookcases in the living room and bedroom with something for everyone, even kids. My 8-year old and I “staycationed” here for a few days, and he enjoyed having new books to read and puzzles to do each day.
As other reviewers mentioned, there is a narrow entryway and staircase (no railing) to access the dwelling. I thought I’d be efficient by packing everything for our stay in one large suitcase, but two smaller ones may have been easier to manage.
The place was clean, sheets were very soft, but I removed one star from the overall rating because the whole place had a musty odor. I’m sure this is due to being in a foggy part of town, but because of carpets & curtains in the space it was hard not to notice. It didn’t bother my son, who has allergies, but I found it a bit uncomfortable. Also note that Selim and family live upstairs, so you will occasionally hear walking around, chairs scraping, etc.
