My sister and I very much enjoyed our stay at Vlad & Ira's place. We were only there for one night, but felt very comfortable in the space. Cozy, and with everything we needed, it suited us perfectly. We had our privacy, but knew our hosts were available if/when needed. After spending a long weekend staying in a friend of a friend's living room, it was rejuvenating to have our own quiet little space. The neighborhood is great, and street parking was not difficult to find. We also appreciated our hosts' prompt responses and allowing us to book the space only a few nights in advance. Vlad & Ira offer one of the best deals in the San Francisco area. We're grateful they welcomed us into their home.

(An exciting find was realizing that Trouble Coffee Co. (which I had heard about on This American Life's podcast) is only a few minutes drive (or half hour walk) from their apartment. If you stay here, be sure to check it out--buttered cinnamon toast will never be the same again!)
