I am a returning customer! Have travelled across the USA and stayed in many places, so have a lot to compare to, but to be more accurate, here is the factual comparison between two San Francisco places I have stayed at this summer. You can see why I think Sandor’s residence is the best!
1) Privacy. Place at Sandors residence has a a green tree view and you can enjoy sunlight/open shades without worrying you are on a public display when at home. (I stayed in SF where I counted 7 surrounding houses have a direct view of your windows and a glass door)
2) Lack of noise. Sandors’ place is on the third floor with the elevator and double glass windows. Staying upstairs in SF means no noise-at another SF first floor in-laws apartment, I could hear all the steps and conversations of people above
3) Location. I saved a tremendous amount of my touristy time being within 5-15 min walk from all the main attractions SF has to offer! While lots of places can claim they are perfect location since SF is a walkable city, there is a difference between 1 block and 10 blocks one has to pass on the way to your destination, where you plan to walk/explore!
4) Parking provided. This is a big bonus in SF, that many places cannot offer. One can easily spend the entire day moving the car from one place to another in order not to get a ticket, or pay as much as a hotel fee to store your car in a public garage.
5) After wasting half of my day doing my clothes at a public laundromat, I truly appreciate that Sandors residence offers laundry if needed, as time is the most valuable asset when every day is counted!
6) Cleanliness. Sandors graciously open their house and every space and corner at the house is impeccable. Unlike the other SF place where you can see everything was done for it to be a rental, Sandors space is cared for with love, and they also take off street shoes. I stayed in SF where I woke up to dog poop in the common area shared with the hosts, and in contrast, Giuliana is very meticulous about regular walking her tiny cute dog
7) Value. Sandors residence is very reasonably priced by San Francisco standards, especially for all what it has to offer. This premium location is where, unlike other places, you never see houses on sale, because from what it looks like residents truly enjoy living there! So grateful Sandors open their home to us being available to experience staying in the area!
There are might be many more positive moments I have missed in my description, but all in all-actions speak louder than words! I am a returning customer, and the people who stayed before me were returning too. So it shows that those who know the place they know this place is the best to stay in San Francisco!
