Cole Valley Casa is absolutely perfect. A lovely, clean home in the best location with a great little yard. Atmospheric neighborhood, close to Golden Gate Park, Irving Street shops and restaurants, the Haight, and Twin Peaks. The beautiful Mt. Sutro forest is only a few blocks away, as is a park with a playground, soccer field, and basketball court. If you like urban hiking, Corona Heights and the Castro are just over the hill. Streetcar to downtown is also a few blocks away if you ever want to leave the area! The floor plan is excellent for kids and teenagers. My son instantly loved the curtained-off bedroom area and claimed it right away (be sure to read listing carefully, Carolyn explains this space in detail). The upstairs loft is like a suite and was perfect for my two daughters to hang out in and have their space. The two decks provide additional space (perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks) and the view is stunning when it's not foggy. Kitchen is well-stocked with essentials, there were plenty of blankets and towels, and comfortable places to sit that accommodated all 5 of us. The washer-dryer in the garage was really appreciated. We drove a Nissan Sentra into the City and it fit adequately in the garage with room to maneuver, but if you're not used to tight spaces it might be challenging. To sum up, I highly recommend Cole Valley Casa and would definitely return!
