Barbara & Evan's place was a incredibly comfortable, well laid out and nicely furnished. The amenities were beyond what was expected, including fresh fruit, fresh baked San Francisco sourdough, yogurt and granola — which they generously replenished when it ran out. The bedding was extremely comfortable, and Barbara responds to messages quickly.
The location is perfect, halfway between Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, with easy access to restaurants and public transit.
What really made my stay special, though, was Barbara and Evan themselves. They are lovely people, always concerned about my comfort. Barbara gave me amazing tips for hiking trails that I never would have found on my own. Evan is a master sommelier, with intimate knowledge of the area's best wine producers. If you're planning to visit wineries, ask for recommendations first. Same goes for restaurants.
They completely respected my privacy, but I also had a chance to talk with them, and they are the kindest, most hospitable people you can imagine.
On my next trip back, if their place is available, I won't even look at other apartments.
