We absolutely loved staying at Barbara and Mick's place. First of all, they are the nicest people. We stayed there for over a month looking for a permanent place to live, as we just moved to San Francisco. They helped us get settled, wrote us a recommendation for apartment applications, and were very flexible in terms of the length of our stay, so we would have enough time to find our new apartment. Second of all, the location of the apartment is ideal. Right on Castro street with nice shops and places to eat, and close to muni and busses to go around the city. We loved the area so much, that we ended up getting an apartment close by. Finally, the apartment is functional and well equipped. We stayed there with our one year old son (who turned one during our stay and Barbara and Mick even got him a birthday present) and it worked out well. We chose to stay at Barbara and Mick's place because of all their good reviews and we were so happy that we did. Can only give my best recommendations!
