We LOVED Sara's place! Our stay in San Francisco rounded out a 10-day, 10-year anniversary trip to California, and it was a quiet, comfortable and cozy end to a whirlwind trip. The apartment is just as pictured - very well appointed. We very much enjoyed the gas fireplace while reading or watching TV at night. Sara's tips on where to go/eat in the area were great, as we were San Fran newbies and didn't have a clue. We loved the neighborhood restaurant/bar recommendations. It was very easy to get around by bus, which we took down to Market/Powell so we could take the iconic (okay touristy) trolley car ride. :) We walked to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park - it was a hike, but a totally lovely one. Cabs are relatively easy to come by as well - we took cabs home from a few places just for time/convenience.

Sara was a great host - although we never met! She checked in on us and even left some packing tape by our door when I asked the nearest location to buy some (had 2 cases of wine to ship home!).

Finding parking on the street wasn't difficult - we ended up just a block away. We didn't use our car at all during our stay.

We would 100% stay at Sara's place again! It truly is a garden retreat!
