We spent a few days visiting family and exploring SF and stayed at Claire's lovely home. I didn't know anything about Noe Valley but we quickly fell in love with it. Her home is clean and bright, spacious. It's perfect for family or a group of close friends. We loved sitting on the patio/deck in the late afternoon with our kids to get some sun and fresh air. Claire is so thoughtful with providing fresh towels and even baby wash for my little ones. She let us park in the garage for a small fee but we found street parking wasn't a huge issue. It's on a the first floor so sometimes you will hear people walking rather loudly on the upper unit, it scared my kids a bit in the beginning but they got over it.
We rented a car so everything was very convenient and close by. I don't know how far the muni is but I think she said it was about a 20 min walk if I remember correctly. The airport is less than 20 mins away by car.
We really loved renting this house and would recommend it to anyone who wants a modern home, in a homey neighborhood and close to shops, restaurants and cafés.
