My friend and I had an amazing time in SF staying at Larry's place. Becca, the manager, was a sweetheart to check-in on us. She heard us chatting in the beautifully manicured backyard that I was coveting. It will be great to go back and see the mature lemon tree! We took advantage of the hot tub, but since it was Sunday morn we just soaked instead of turning the noisy jets on. We didn't want to disturb upstairs neighbors...however we never heard anyone upstairs, so they must have been away. That made this place SO private & quiet even though we were just maybe 1/6 of a block from Golden Gate park. It was the perfect spot for us to do morning walks, catch a quick coffee or even head off to a sit-down breakfast.

This was the perfect location to go see it all: parks (we hiked GG & BV), beach, dinner in the city, drive along the piers & sightsee - it's all so close. The local flavor is everything (location, location, location): yogis walking home from yoga, homeless near park, mom's with strollers, young couples, old couples - tons of people watching to do :D Restaurantiers (???) were super friendly & even recognized us from two days before & welcomed us back! It's recommended on the Welcome sheet to visit Zazie AND YES we highly recommend - the wait is well worth it. Besides neighboring bars a great spot to catch a drink, like Reverie Cafe Bar.

Parking was tricking but we circled and on the second day lucked out to have one six cars down from the apt. Next time we'll try our hand at mass transit, but were on a schedule.

Larry's flat is a collection as some reviewers have noted: music, books galore, art and taxidermist animals. It's unique & eclectic which made it very interesting. The apartment is beautiful: great light in the kitchen & living room, gorgeous high ceilings AND if Larry designed the bathroom...omg, kuddos to him. I LOVED IT. Ample room, great lighting and an amazing shower & tub (separate btw).

Provisions: lovely thick towels for both the bath & hottub (I wanted to take them!). There's a wide range & variety of herbal teas. So happy about the filtered water - we drank tons. Bathroom was stocked. We didn't cook, but kitchen has everything: spices, utensils & beyond.

It was so easy to communicate even though Larry was out-of-town & just getting back as we were leaving. We emailed each other if needed. Becca was close if needed & easy to chat with via text or in person. Coming & going was a breeze.

This was such an ideal location & great place that I couldn't see why we wouldn't stay here again. Thanks, you two!!!
