All of the reviews of Maison Swiss are accurate. Stephen is a kind hearted host who will go out of his way to help his guests. We arrived to the house to a beautiful loaf of sour dough bread, milk, half/half, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Stephen walked us down to Glen Park village and pointed out the best restaurants, the BART station and gave us some other tips. He helped us find extra umbrellas for a rainy day, supplied us with extra tin foil and olive oil, too.
In an effort to not repeat the kind things that have already been said about his place, let me offer some information for traveling to Maison Swiss with kids. We traveled with our 10 month old crawler and 4 year old. Stephen's place is located about two short blocks to an AMAZING playground. It was recently renovated and is a great place for kids to burn off energy - in a beautiful setting of Glen Park Canyon. In addition to the playground, Glen Park Canyon offered a wonderful hiking experience that was totally doable for a 4 year old to walk and the 10 month old (in a carrier, not a stroller). The BART station is a short walk (doable for a 4 year old) and a very easy ride into the city.
As for the space, Stephen provided a clean and modern pack n play with a mattress pad, but I would suggest you bring your own crib sheet anyway. My 4 year old was a little scared of the decor in the second bedroom so he slept just fine on a twin blow up mattress (provided by Stephen) in our room. (For the record, it is not scary decor...). The high chair is a Fisher Price Space Saver high chair that mounts to a table chair. It's great for the youngest of kids but is probably not good for kids around 16-18 months and up. There were no toys, so bring your own. The laundry machines are in his personal space, but we had no problems coordinating completing two loads during our stay with him. In fact, it was quite convenient because he moved our laundry from the washer to the dryer for us and produced a basket of clean clothes when it was done!
We very much enjoyed our stay!
