As our first time to San Francisco, we wanted to stay somewhere safe, private, accessible and central to the attractions we were interested in visiting. So, Syl and Art's suite was perfect for our trip. The suite was a great jumping off point for the day, and we loved the close proximity to Golden Gate Park, small grocers, restaurants, coffee shops and transit options. The place is located at the top of a hill in a nice neighborhood - we loved the view of the city and the fog each morning as we left for the day. We felt safe and enjoyed being able to walk everywhere we needed to go.

Syl and Art keep everything extremely clean, comfortable and well decorated. I appreciated the full kitchen and large closet. I especially enjoyed the heated bathroom floors and heated bed when it was chilly in the evenings (we're from Texas).

Art was kind enough to receive us when we arrived, give us the keys, a brief tour and a few ideas for dinner that night when we asked for recommendations (they have also compiled a huge binder, full of menus, maps, brochures, reviews, etc. of attractions and restaurants in SF). There is an outside patio as well, with a gorgeous Redwood tree in the yard.

I'm especially appreciative of Syl and Art's flexibility when we ran into an issue with the rental car company on Saturday morning. The company took an hour longer than the scheduled appointment time, which then put us behind on check out. Art was understanding and kind enough to instruct the cleaning service to allow us to return to the suite to clean up and pack up our remaining items before we left for North California.

Syl and Art, thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and for graciously handling the mix up on Saturday morning - we loved visiting San Francisco and staying at your place!
