Our family of three from the UK had a great week staying in Mark's spacious apartment in beautiful Noe Valley - it suited us perfectly as a base from which to explore San Francisco. It was so quiet and comfortable that we slept late every morning, then wandered down the (steep!) hills to choose which of the plethora of nearby cafes to have brunch in. The apartment is kept very clean and has plenty of storage space. Wonderful shower! Mark was the perfect host - available and communicative but never intrusive, and we liked the fact that the apartment is self-contained, with its own entrance. We didn't have a car and found it very easy to travel around on public transport from Noe Valley - there are several buses stopping near to the apartment, and the public-transport system is easy to use and reasonably priced. Overall a very enjoyable experience!
