Annabelle was great on communication before and during our visit. Check-in was easy with an independent, keypad entrance to the unit.

The unit is exactly as pictured and has a lovely garden space. It's super bright and airy when you open the curtains. The decor is tasteful, modern, and warm. Definitely the kind of place we love to stay in.

The kitchen is well-equipped for simple meals, though note that there doesn't appear to be a cooktop, so you'll be limited to the microwave or cold meals.

The bathroom is spacious and has great storage. The closet has luxurious, fluffy robes.

Annabelle lives above the studio, which means that during the day there are sometimes footsteps overhead, but it's generally very quiet (and everything is totally silent at night, which makes for great sleep.)

The location is ideal, a short walk downhill to the main part of the Castro, including a Philz coffee (my favorite!), shops, bars, clubs, and a SoulCycle if you feel like punishing your legs in addition to all the SFO hills. You can also hike to Twin Peaks in about an hour, though maybe don't do it in the same day as SoulCycle. ;)

Walking back to the unit is pretty steep uphill, but great exercise! There's a great little corner store on the way back with lovely fresh produce that's great for breakfast and quick snacks.

All in all, we had a lovely, relaxing trip here and would absolutely come back. Oh, and the view from the backyard is absolutely stunning at night!
