We have been to San Francisco many times, and the Richmond district is our favored place to stay.
This time we were really fortunate to find a terrific apartment, just a couple of blocks from Golden Gate Park with its great museums and botanical garden, and in the opposite direction, a couple of blocks from our favorite section of Clement St. with a killer collection of markets, shops, and great restaurants, mostly very inexpensive. Perfect!
The apartment itself was also perfect. Very roomy and attractive, we found the kitchen to be well stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and plenty of essentials like spices, oil, vinegar, and some necessities in the fridge. The bedroom had a great bed and plenty of storage. The bathroom was lovely with a very nice tub/shower. Another important detail, often lacking, was excellent lighting in all rooms. We could read in bed, on the couch in the livingroom, in the kitchen (recipes), even in the tub!
The owners were a pleasure to work with, gracious and ready with advice and helpful hints on things to do. They also provided a really useful printout and pdf of things to do and places to eat in SF.
I enthusiastically recommend this apartment and its owners!!
