Patti and Rob's place was perfect!

My boyfriend and I live around the corner, so when his parents, sister, and 20-month old nephew were in town for his dad's 60th birthday, we booked this place for a night so everyone could spend some time together in the city.

It's always a little nerve-wracking booking places for (other people's) family, but this worked out perfectly!

My boyfriend's family was thrilled with the space (his mom said it would've been her "dream apartment" when she lived in SF), and commented on how much they loved the decor and the location. Everything was very neat and clean, and since our group had a toddler, it was great being in a space that was already set up for kids (from the crib, to the kid's chair, to the gate across the stairs).

Things we were able to use were very neatly labeled, and they were very generous with their kitchen supplies, and even wine and spirits. Everything was well-stocked, so we were able to drop by Bi-Rite grocery around the corner and then make dinner for everyone without any hiccups.

We had perfect timing -- Dolores Park had just reopened after its lengthy closure for upgrades, and from the top of the hill we could see the fireworks and Bay Bridge lights go back up downtown.

If you're visiting San Francisco, the location is amazing: next to Dolores Park, just blocks from BART and MUNI, and right in the middle of a ton of great restaurants and stores.

Factoring in cleaning fees, it was a bit pricey for a one-night stay, but I realized later that this was during the initial Super Bowl events in SF, so that's not surprising.

I'd definitely recommend Patti and Rob's place, especially if you're traveling with family!
