We really felt we'd picked the best place we could as soon as we arrived here. The area was perfect for us - lots to do, places to eat and incredibly convenient for getting to other parts of the city. Plus, the Castro being /the/ queer neighborhood in the city, we felt right at home!

Matt happened to be there when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful, showing us where we could find everything we needed. He was also quick to respond to any minor issues that came up while we were staying there, though I should point out that we didn't really have any problems with the cottage itself.

The accommodation was very comfortable and homely, with plenty of space for three or four adults. The brand new sofa bed is really comfortable too, and Matt left us plenty of fresh sheets and towels for everyone.

Although there's no guidebook for the property on the website, the cottage has a booklet with some good suggestions for local places to visit/eat etc. We really enjoyed Orphan Andy's diner, Hearth, the Squat & Gobble, Café Sophie, and Posh Bagel. The Castro theater is just a couple of blocks away and shows a really good range of new and old movies, and there's also a laundromat right across the street from the cottage, which is really convenient.

We had a fantastic stay and we'd definitely want to stay here again if we were back in San Francisco!
