I rented the Castro Cottage for an extended stay, and I can't say enough great things about it.. I love it! It is off the street, so it is very quiet and secluded. It is well stocked with paper products and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, which isn't always the case. Matt and his family are as nice as can be. The location is great for grabbing public transportation, but everything is walkable as well. Really convenient things..walk to the market, laundry across the street, post office, restaurants, and two blocks from Castro. It just has a really nice relaxing feel, and it's great to get up in the morning and have a cup of coffee in the garden. It's an oasis in the middle of the city!
