I've stayed in many AirBnB accommodations over the past few years, and this is definitively one of the most stunning home's I've been at. The best about the house is the backyard! It has a breathtaking view of San Francisco and you can see the sunrise if you're an early bird. Perfect for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening to unwind. It feels like you wake up in a villa in the Toscana as there's handmade pottery and the colors reminded me a lot of holidays in Italy. You get the Mediterranean and SF in one!

I could tell Rachel prepared the house very carefully for us. She left a whole folder with useful instructions, a welcome note, and even fruits and snacks. The instructions how to get into the house were easy and we found the lock with the key immediately. Everything we needed was there (towels, soaps etc.) and the place is clean and bright.

Communication was great. Although she was away during our stay, she was very fast to respond messages. And sent us secret SF tips, such as the Pier 24 Gallery, which I absolutely loved.

Location is perfect. I used to live in San Francisco a while back, and this is a gem of a neighborhood I would have not known otherwise. It's central and everything in the city is accessible with MUNI, yet it's tucked away from the sometimes buzzy and busy feel that the city can have. The street is quite and green. You have to be ready for a short up the hill walk, but it's definitively worth it and a mini-workout, unless you're opting for lyft/uber, which I did a few times. Great restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the Castro all in walking distance.

And the best...there is a hot tub!! Best experience ever!

ZuZeus, the cat, was also at the house while we were there. He's a true gentleman of a cat and we enjoyed cuddling with him or just watching him chill in the sun in the backyard.

Thanks a lot Rachel for hosting us - one of the best stays I've had in the city! Absolutely beautiful place.
