This place is a real gem!
First of all, Sultan&Julia are wonderful, caring, lovely hosts and really very nice people. They had plenty of excellent San Francisco tips, were always responsive, outstandingly helpful and just always a lot of fun to talk to.
Secondly, the location of the place couldn't be any better: in the middle of Russian Hill, in a quite street and nonetheless literally just steps away from a huge variety of different shops, restaurants, cafés etc., not far from the Embarcadero, Little Italy, Chinatown, Downtown, the Civic Center and Pacific Heights - almost everything is in walking distance! Plus: Sultan has a lot of practical tipps and recommendations so that no neighbourhood gem can be overlooked.
Thirdly, the place itself is genuinely beautiful; it is indeed even much nicer and more spacious than it looks on the photos. And Sultan & Julia really care as they live next door which is why the place has a lot of character and an abundance of nice little details. The kitchen is fully equipped and a lot of fun to cook in (with a huge gas oven), plus: the appartment really has a beautiful, big dining table in the dining room. I had to work from home and was a little bit concerned that the WiFi connection might be too weak (as this had been explicitly mentioned in one of the older reviews); however, immediately, Sultan installed two WiFi range extenders to accommodate me and now the WiFi is perfectly fine!!
All in all, whatever your purpose in San Francisco is, holiday, study, business or work - this place will certainly be perfect for you. As for me, I can't wait to go there again, when I am in San Francisco next time and I am really very much looking forward to meeting Sultan&Julia again. Thanks guys - you really made my days in San Francisco.
