When relocating to SF for a career move, we stayed in Andy and Tanya’s apartment for 3 months and could not have asked for anything better! Noe Valley is an amazing community where people know and talk with one another, the shops and restaurants are full of friendly staff, and everything you need is within walking distance.

First off, the house is incredible. Everything is high-end — from the most comfortable beds to the quality soaps and household supplies, Andy and Tanya have outfitted the home extremely well. The floor-to-ceiling windows (which are about 15’ high!) flood the home with light and the layout is wonderful — living areas are fairly separate from the bedrooms. We never once felt like we were in an apartment because the place really feels like its own home. And the hot tub was a real treat!

Secondly, Noe Valley is now our favorite part of SF! It’s close enough to the city but without the usual “grit” you find in most of SF. We have 11-year-old twins and it only took a week or two before they were extremely comfortable exploring on their own and running errands. Just a few minutes and you’ve walked to Whole Foods, the post office, clothing boutiques, a top-notch bakery, cafes, and restaurants. We didn’t have a car while living there but never felt inconvenienced by this. There are plenty of Zipcar locations within a block or two and of course, an Uber to anywhere is typically $8 or less. That said, parking wasn’t that difficult to find when we did have a Zipcar. We fell in love with Noe Valley so much that we found our next home in the same neighborhood!

We can’t say enough good things about this Airbnb and the hosts. We traveled the world for most of 2016 and have used Airbnb in many international cities; none came close to the comfort and welcome we felt with Andy & Tanya’s Noe Valley home!
