Lily's place was spacious and full of quirky touches that my family and I really appreciated. The facilities and amenities included were good and the apartment was clean. Lily was easy to communicate with and explained how we could cool the apartment down on the warmer SF days we spent there. Bi-Rite - the grocery store on Dolores a few blocks away - was quality food. Not the cheapest, but that was our experience of the city anyway!
WiFi is a bit patchy round the apartment: the kitchen got the best signal. The bedroom next door to the living room had thin curtains and as the TV is directly on the other side from the connecting doors, you may want to think carefully about who gets that room.
None of these were significant issues though, and the apartment is well located in terms of accessing public transport. Sadly, the biggest downside to Lilly's place is something she can't really remedy: the extensive homeless population in the area - and the city as a whole. While we were never harangued by anyone, it was nevertheless unsettling and took the shine off our trips out right from the get go. As a family of four adults, it was depressing rather than a cause for concern, but young families may want to be aware.
Thanks Lily for allowing us to stay in your home.
