We stayed at this apartment for a month, and we’re so pleased with our choice. We just moved to the area and we were looking for short term stay whilst we got to know SF better and could commit to a lease. Most of our belongings were being shipped to the U.S so we had very little with us. This place was perfect. Apartment – This place was beautifully designed. The appliances and furniture were brand new and top spec, and it was clear no expense was spared. Just as an example, each room had underfloor heating and also a nest thermostat. It had a great TV and sound bar which you could blare out as loud as you wanted because the living area is sound proofed. It had plenty of storage space for our suitcases. And the wet room was fantastic with a rain shower. From the living room and garden, there are jaw dropping views of the city. We’ve stayed in a good few 5 star hotels which haven’t been as nice. Apartment amenities – Everything had been thoughtfully considered. For example, in the bathroom there was sun cream, a first aid box, mini bottles of mouth wash, razors, cotton buds, hair dryer (a good one!) etc. In the kitchen, it had all the appliances and utensils you’d ever need, even a kitchen aid hand mixer. It also had loads of basic ingredients such as coconut oil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, condiments, herbs etc. etc. It made eating in very easy, and you didn’t have to spend a fortune buying everything from scratch. Location – oh how I wish we could afford to live in this area for longer! It’s less than a 10-minute walk to the main street in Noe Valley, which is gorgeous. Lined with small boutiques, gift shops, restaurants and bars. There’s a bus stop at the end of the road (90 second walk from the apartment), and the number 35 will take you to Castro in about 10 minutes which will connect you to the muni metro. Another plus, was that you can easily get onto the freeway to San Jose, avoiding most the traffic heading into the bay area which can be very troublesome in other parts of SF. There’s also a Whole Foods and Safeway both within a 10-minute walk and lots of local wine shops and bakeries. Hosts - Jim and James were very thoughtful. Our flight was delayed considerably and we got there much later than expected, tired and hungry. They’d stocked the fridge with milk, a pizza, beer and ice cream. And there was a big bouquet of lily’s in the kitchen and lovely bottle of wine. They’d also made a guide to the area, giving advice about where to eat and drink. We didn’t see them too often after that, and we didn't need to contact them because we had everything we needed. But from time to time, they did drop around with a bottle of wine which...
