Reviews of Kristen's place and they were a major reason we booked it and I'm so glad we did. It did not disappoint. As a family with a small kid, it was such a pleasure to experience what people had previously remarked upon; the unique and convenient location, tucked up into the canyon, the proximity to the amazing Glen Canyon Park playground plus the sweet little "downtown" Glen Park including a wonderful small grocery for provisioning (Canyon Market. Not inexpensive but wow, some great stuff). Our kiddo had a blast and was super entertained with the kid stuff in the house and adults enjoyed hanging out in different spaces outdoors (hot tub, wisteria-covered arbor) and inside the charming vintage home with unique and artistic touches (love that vintage stove!). Coming from another major west coast city, we were delighted to discover that the location--and SF in general--felt both super walkable as well as driveable with easy access to surprisingly chill freeways and good way-finding. Sure, there are hills to navigate but for us part of the fun of discovering a new city is getting a sense of how it is put together by exploring on foot. Pushing a stroller up Diamond Heights and Billy Goat Hill you get a real sense of accomplishment, and are rewarded with incredible views and a new appreciation of the layout of the city. While we had a car for our stay, we did quite a few outings without it; between the convenient nearby BART station we found the house appealingly well-located to much of what we wanted to do. Since our kid is not yet great in restaurants we mostly ate in. It was a snap to hop over to Noe valley or the Mission for take-out and therefor didn't suffer too much FOMO with SF's great food scene. I feel like some of my most memorable vacations have been when when I could get a strong sense of the rhythm of local life in another place and we definitely experienced what it might feel like to be SF native who was lucky enough to live in a special "hidden gem" neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this location and home to anyone looking for that lovely mix of convenience, comfort and uniqueness.
