We had a great stay at Flip's apartment, we couldn't have asked for anything more perfect for our time in SF! My boyfriend and I stayed for a week over the New Years period. Everything was so smooth getting into the apartment- We organised a time to meet Flip when we arrived and his wife showed us around the apartment, gave us the keys and we went on our way exploring. The location is great- just around the corner from Haight Street where there are numerous cafes and shops. We had coffee every day at a little place called Stanza- highly recommended. There is a market just down the road as well which was great because we could grab a few things as we needed them.
The apartment is so cute, spacious, tidy, has a great little courtyard and everything you need inside (kitchen is stocked with appliances etc, hair dryer and towels provided)- the apartment is very cosy and homely.
There is a bike rental place close on Haight Street and we hired bikes to ride to the Golden Gate which was the better part of a full day but very cool if you're into that kind of thing and going up and down hills- and Union Square was easy to get to by cab.
We definitely got used to being here for the week and are sad to have to leave. We highly recommend Flip's apartment, you'll love your stay in San Francisco being here! Thanks again Flip!
