This immaculate apartment is wonderful. It is located near bus lines and has a market and coffee shop on the corner...not to mention some great eating places close by.

Maria's space has wonderful sunlight and a view of the back garden which gives you a feeling of, well, sanctuary. The kitchen and all the necessary utensils/equipment allowed us to have breakfast and snacks in a cozy restful spot before heading out each day. In addition to the ample bed, there is a very comfortable couch. The apartment was quiet for a peaceful sleep.

Maria was very gracious to allow us to stow our suitcases for a few hours before check-in time, and after checkout, so we could enjoy every minute of this memorable week. Be sure and get instructions on the front door lock, it is a bit fussy, but conquerable.

The highlight was a two block walk down to 18th and Castro to enjoy a Halloween with no equal. That neighborhood really knows how to have fun and be very welcoming to visitors. Be sure to visit Spike's for a morning coffee. This vacation will long be remembered, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this sweet spot.
