tl;dr - This place was absolutely perfect for a family with kids wanting to see San Francisco

We came here as a couple with two kids - 4 and 6 - wanting a solid home base from which to see San Francisco. The apartment itself is great - very spacious, nice furniture, beautiful main bathroom and kitchen (Thermadore range/oven!). The hallway to the three bedrooms closes off from the rest of the apartment (kitchen, dining room, living room) which was great for either taking a nap while kids play or staying up while the kids sleep.

This would probably be a five star review based on the quality of the apartment and friendliness of the hosts alone, but the stuff for the kids really made it. Plenty of toys for young kids - play kitchen, duplos, trains, dolls, even a great collection of bath toys! Our boys borrowed a pair of scooters to take to the park across the street in the early evenings when we were done exploring and we borrowed a foldable wagon a few days for pulling them when they were pooped.

Our hosts were very good about asking what we needed and ensuring we weren't having any issues without being at all overbearing. Overall it felt very professional - they've done this before and have it all together. Nothing amateur about it.

Tip for runners: There's a great set of running paths (2-7mi?) starting a block away that takes you to a coastal path with a sunrise view!
