Ed and David's beautiful home was perfect for our 10 day stay in the city. The apartment is comfortable and spacious, perfectly homely, but with interior design which made it feel like a real treat. Having such a well-stocked kitchen was much appreciated too.
The immediate area is quiet and restful, especially at night, but there are a number of great cafés, restaurants and bars as well as other amenities within easy reach, and we always felt safe coming back late at night.
As a base for exploring the city, Castro, Haight, Mission and Hayes Valley are all easy walks, and the area is well served by public transport to get further afield; I'd very much advise this as a way of seeing a nicer side of the city than staying closer to the tourist sites.
David met us at the apartment, answered all our immediate questions and then was at the end of the phone to answer queries later in the week. Heartily recommend the apartment, the area and the city; definitely plan to return if we can.
