Sarah and Pankaj's place is delightful and comfortable and well-equipped. The view out the common room window is amazing. I would just sit there and watch the dusk come and the city lights come on. Pankaj and Sarah are very thoughtful hosts. For example, Pankaj printed out our boarding passes for the plane, after first reassuring me when I semi-panicked (did I make the reservation right??) that it was still too early to print the passes, we had to wait half an hour. We waited, and he printed them. When Pankaj and Sarah do something for you, you feel they are glad to do the favor, not that they are burdened.
The place was impeccably clean. I appreciate that so much. Sometimes, you go into a bathroom and there's a random assortment of soaps etc (two conditioners, is there any shampoo?). In contrast, Pankaj's shower was scrupulously clean and stocked with nearly full bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, with a hair dryer just where you would want it to be.
I recommend this place highly. The only drawback is more a fact than a drawback. The beautiful views are because the house is near the top of a hill, so most walks in the neighborhood are a bit steep. On the other hand, the house is conveniently located for driving around San Francisco, so this is only a concern if you are planning to walk to local restaurants (which we did: French, Peruvian, coffee shops, etc.) It is definitely walkable, but be ready for some real San Francisco walking.
