Kristen's lovely home was nothing short of magical for our holiday celebrations in San Francisco. Though it rained nearly everyday of our stay, we could not have been more at home, snuggled into this picturesque setting. The photos do not do this gem justice. Everything was tidy, clean, and well appointed for our stay. From my in-laws to our six year old twins, no one had any issues with this home. However, my son did want to bring most of the books home from the extensive children's collection. The top floor (converted attic i'm guessing) was like a tree top getaway for our kids. They also enjoyed the swing in the backyard during a moment of reprieve in precipitation.
The park across the street was amazing for getting out pent up Christmas energy for our littles. I enjoyed the hiking trail as well, though muddy during our stay. The short walk to the nearby shops was handy for morning coffee runs, super cute local market, and even a lovely gift shop we utilized for last minute gifts. The drive to our fav spots in the city, like Golden Gate Park and The Exploratorium, were a snap from this location. And yet we felt like we were hidden away from the city while at the house with the beautiful surroundings, trees on display through every window.
Kristen was very quick with communication, promptly answering our questions, and offering fantastic suggestions during our stay. Our kids absolutely loved the setting and asked when we could go back. I also wouldn't hesitate to book this home again for an adult getaway. The home boasts beautiful artwork and artistic touches throughout. The comfortable mattresses and furniture made us feel right at home and relaxed from day one. The proximity to the city, beautiful and impeccably clean home, with no shortage of magical retreat type vibes is sure to impress and be enjoyed by everyone.
Can't say enough greta things about this Airbnb! ☺️
