We rented this because we couldn't get something close to the Palace of Fine Arts. First off, Christine was one of the only owners who replied to my messages addressing me by my name. Everyone else seemed too rushed to bother. This made a positive impression on me.

I inquired about parking and they said it shouldn't be a problem but they would be willing to look out for a spot for us if we knew what time we'd be arriving. Fortunately, parking was pretty easy for us the 4 days we were there. We got spots within a block or two.

The apartment was well equipped with anything you would need. It was also very clean. The cleanest fridge I've ever seen! We were attending a work conference and didn't use the kitchen except for getting some water but it appeared to be more than adequate.

The beds were very comfortable. I slept on one of two twin beds that were adjacent to each other. I wear ear plugs but I did notice it seemed like there was a waterproof cover or something that "crinkled" a bit but I only noticed it when I took my ear plugs out. I guess someone sensitive to noise might have an issue with it but I imagine it would be easy to remove, if so. Those beds would be well suited to kids though. I'm thinking of bringing my family back to try that out. The other beds (regular bed and couch bed) both seemed very comfortable as well.

The shower was very good. I like taking very hot showers with lots of water (sorry, CA drought) and it fit the bill. I did notice a slight knocking noise that might have been due to water pressure but it wasn't a big deal.

The neighborhood was pretty quiet and felt very safe. It wasn't as grungy as much as other parts of SF. There were some restaurants/stores within easy walking distance such as a bagel place a few blocks away that was very good.

We met Jon after we were done with our stay and he was very friendly. I only communicated with Christine via email but she seemed very nice as well.

I can't think of anything negative to say. The entry lock is a little tricky to get used to but not a big deal and the front door doesn't open all the way but not a big deal either. Oh, note that the ceilings are "low". Not a problem for us (5' 6" and shorter) but I could touch the ceiling so it could be a problem for some people.

All in all, an awesome place with awesome hosts. I'd stay there again for sure.
