A home away from home that is even better than my house...that is what Mercer Manor is. When I go on vacation, I want the accommodations to be amazing. I want to be spoiled. That is what I got here. From the fresh cut flowers to the goodies and treats I found in the fridge upon my arrival to the impeccably organized kitchen to the overstocked bathroom pantry with EVERYTHING my family of four could possibly need for my week-long stay...Mercer Manor spoiled me. What a treat it was to cook on vacation in this kitchen. Seriously. There were more gadgets than in my own well-appointed home. The apartment is so tastefully decorated and well-designed, I want to live here.
And the beds! I would never in my wildest dreams imagine that a pullout bed would be even more comfortable than my Sleep Number at home. Well, I'm glad I put the kids in the bedroom and took the "couch." We all slept so comfortably all week. A good night's rest is key for a busy vacation with kids ages 9 and 12. The shades make the place nice and dark, and the neighborhood is quiet.
It is also so close to the beach that we drove five minutes to see the sunset on the ocean. My son and I took a run in nearby Stern Grove, which is a beautiful, landscaped ravine with paved paths. Don't miss this gem only two blocks away!
The location is perfect for getting to Golden Gate Bridge and Park. It is easy to get to all the highways and only 30 mins by car to get downtown. We parked right in front of the Manor every night and felt our car was safe here.
Mercer Manor is the creme de la creme. Peter and Eric were warm and friendly and sympathetic. It was like visiting old friends. They set the bar very high with their Airbnb space. No rental will ever live up to this place.
