Cam is an exceptional host. To begin our stay, there was enough (and more) to get us started with some breakfast, including coffee, and some food and things to drink in the fridge. I have 2 avid coffee drinkers and they both have different methods in making it. There was the traditional carafe, coffee press, and a moka pot for the stove. The 4 well-decorated bedrooms were great for the 6 people that we had in the house. Having additional rooms for hanging out as a group or for some quiet time was a plus that we happily took advantage of. The decor is eclectic with all kinds of interesting wall coverings, a mix of antique and Retro furniture, a fun collection of globes that can light up with a switch, a vast array of glasses to choose from in the kitchen cabinets that reach all the way up to the 12 ft (?) ceiling. ( I can go on and on!) Laundry and garbage supplies were plentiful and appreciated. The Wi-Fi was great! I read a few reviews saying that the Wi-Fi was sparse. Cam had upgraded it since then, so no problems there. There were plenty of extra linens, blankets, and towels. Basically, we felt like we were treated as GUESTS. Like Cam LIVED there, and we were visiting. The house was a "home-away-from-home."
It's a block over from Haight to the south and a block from Divisidaro going west. There are eating places, coffee shops and a Walgreens not too far away. The neighborhood is pretty safe, even in the evenings. There is a bar just up the hill on Page. Alamo Square is just 3 blocks away (9 min walk) if you want to view the "Painted Ladies" (a row of colorful Victorian homes, famous landmark) and enjoy the other beautiful homes in the Victorian architecture style. It's also a popular place to take your dog. The Castro is just a little farther out. You'll want to check out another park called Corona Heights Park along the way. With a short hike up to the top, you can view all of the city and its splendid iconic bridges.
We will always remember the time we had in San Francisco and in this beautiful home. Thank you so much, Cam. We hope to come back in the future.
