My family (including two kids) had a wonderful stay at Ellen’s place. It’s located in its own building (no loud upstairs neighbors!) in an amazing part of SF. It’s beautifully decorated and incredibly welcoming - comfy couch, functional kitchen, soft bed. My kids had a blast playing with the apartment’s toys - they truly made themselves at home. But more than anything it gave our family a ton of space in a very space-deprived city!
Two things to note before staying here - first, there is no AC (which is clear in the listing), but it does occasionally get on the warmer side in SF (it did for us). I recommend keeping the drapes closed during the day if you find yourself in this situation!
And for families with light sleeper children, while this is a standalone house, it is the middle of the city and there is definitely street noise, so make sure to plan ahead. I believe Ellen provided one white noise machine, but we brought several more and they were helpful.
