This apartment is completely charming, light-filled and cosy. The layout is perfect for a couple, but comfortably accommodated our family of four - with two children happily sleeping in the living room, and ample space to relax in the kitchen and bedroom. (The photos don't really do justice, as the living room is actually more spacious than it appears). The shared rear deck is a great asset, which we would definitely have enjoyed in better weather.
The building is an elegant example of classic San Francisco architecture, and is in an ideal location for the cool shops, cafes and restaurants of Hayes Valley. It is a reasonably short walk to public transport for access to museums, the Embarcadero or Mission district.
Donna was an exceptionally thoughtful and responsive host, and we appreciated the little touches, such as the basket of snacks and Ghirardelli chocolates! Thank you!
