We absolutely loved our stay at the Merced Manor apartment. Everything in the apartment showed how much our hosts care about the comfort of their guests. Apartment has a modern design with spotless and fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. We really appreciated the comfortable bed, lots of extra clean towels and bed sheets, espresso machine, several charging outlets, multiple entertainment options on TV, as well as books, magazines and board games. Emily went above and beyond by providing a high chair, toys and books, baby dining set and baby food pouches for my toddler son. There was also a stroller, travel crib, and baby bath tub available which make the place perfect for staying with a baby/toddler.
The neighborhood is very safe and quiet and has a suburban feel, while it's walking distance to a playground and a big shopping mall and it is very close to lots of shops and restaurants. There was plenty of street parking available and we always parked right in front of the house.
Most importantly, Emily and Roger are very easy to communicate with. They responded quickly and in detail from my first message to the last, even though they were out of town. They helped us a lot with their suggestions for restaurants, hair salon, etc. We were lucky to have found this apartment for our trip to SF.
