Our stay in John's apartment was absolutely delightful. We were welcomed with a basket of snacks (which my son especially loved), a bottle of champagne, and an in-depth folder of information about the apartment and contact info, recommended restaurants, and various sights to see. The place was really clean; the kitchen was fully equipped and had beautiful appliances that we enjoyed using throughout our week stay; and the bedrooms were quiet with really comfy beds. Having 1 1/2 bathrooms was perfect, as we shared the apartment with my in-laws and toddler son. We felt like we definitely had enough space to lounge, cook, and get ready each day. A definite plus was also having a washer and dryer in the unit. The location was also great--right in the heart of North Beach, with lots of great restaurants. In fact, we ate dinner at delicious places every single night right in the neighborhood (literally all within one to five blocks) after touring all through the city during the day. And we cooked breakfast every morning in the beautiful kitchen with groceries we bought from the nearby store (less than two blocks away). We felt really lucky for finding this perfect place. The only teeny tiny note is that this adorable place is on a hill, but that is to be expected in San Francisco! We didn't mind it at all (as we live in an equally hilly neighborhood), but my mother-in-law (who is from flat Arizona) definitely had to pace herself to get back to the apartment. Overall, this was such a memorable stay in San Francisco. We visit at least once or twice every year and we truly hope this place is available again the next time around. Thank you, John, for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful apartment!
