We are so glad we chose Elmer's home as our one night resting spot during our trip to the city. We drove in from our country home just an hour away and despite the tight parking restrictions throughout S.F., were able to find car parking nearby (unmetered two hours between 8AM to 7PM, but unlimited on Buena Vista Ave. that circles the Buena Vista Park, on south end, park-side). Elmer and his serene dog London gave us a warm greeting at the door, accommodating our anticipated time of arrival. What a gloriously decorated, cozy home welcomed us, festively decked out in holiday sparkle. We loved the thoughtful details, such as chocolates, bottled water, bath slippers and robes, and in the morning, a basket of breakfast snacks in the kitchen with "to-go" or inhouse coffee. No where else would we have felt so catered to. Great central location as well for walking and catching public transport to the rest of the city. Lots of nearby restaurants - loved the breakfast crab cakes florentine at Squat and Gobble on 16th and Market.
Elmer, thank you for making our trip to the city so special! You are a host extraordinaire.
