I rented this adorable nest for my Mumsy & Aunt, who were visiting from the East Coast. Mike & Nic were a complete pleasure to deal with. Great communication & prompt response to any Emails. The apartment is just as pleasing as in the pictures. The kitchenette is nicely stocked with all the amenities you would need for preparing some nice light meals, although we didn't actually DO any cooking there. How could we in THIS town?!?! They were also very sweet to have a few things like Coffee, Tea, Cheese, Crackers & more on hand when we arrived. I'm sure they don't make any promises for stocking supplies, but you can tell that it has the vibe of a well-maintained rental unit, where people who come & go often leave things for those coming after to enjoy, & there's always a touch of homeyness to it. Everything seemed fresh & nice though, not like a bunch of weird moldering stuff left over from who knows when! It's a fantastic, quiet, SCENIC neighborhood, although it IS a bit hilly. I find that that adds to the charm & really only matters if you have mobility issues. My 78-year-old Mum still managed to get down to the main drag on Cortland for lunch & back without difficulty. If you don't mind parking on hills, it's actually one of the most IDEAL places to stay in SF if you have a rental car. There are no parking restrictions on the adjacent streets except for a weekly street-cleaning, so you don't have to worry about getting tickets & the street parking always seemed prevalent.
The views while coming & going from this place are always gorgeous. I, as a native, was grateful to have an excuse to come over to one of my favorite neighborhoods for the week! As long as you are fine with being a little off the Beaten Path, I think this is one of the nicest little places you could find in SF, for a great price. Thanks again, Mike & Nic, we had a BLAST!!!
