I stayed at Merced Manor for 8 days with 2 of my friends, and we loved it. The place looked exactly how it did in pictures, if not even better. Its a gorgeous apartment, with a stunning backyard, in a very nice area that's located to a trader joes, shopping mall, parks, and food/coffee spots. When we arrived Eric met us to help us with our luggage, and Peter helped us before our departure. Eric and Peter were sweet enough to provide us with some goodies in our fridge (including a delicious homemade jam, yum!). Also, they were always there to help us out if we needed anything or had any questions. I would definitely recommend Merced Manor for anyone that's looking to stay in SF.
