We had a fantastic few months at Maxime's apartment. The place is impeccably clean, looks exactly like the pictures and communication with the host is easy and efficient. We especially appreciated the many thoughtful details that made our stay extremely comfortable and are often missing from short-term rentals (laundry basket, place to charge phone directly by the bed). The bed is also excellent quality and the sheets are extremely soft. They provide a plethora of towels. Several very soft and comfy throws and pillows make the sofa a great place to veg out. We also enjoyed the board games and the little outdoor space, which is very well maintained. The kitchen is very well stocked, including things like a sieve and a vegetable peeler that we have often find missing from airbnb kitchens; this place is actually designed for regular home cooking. We also appreciated that the bedroom curtain blocks out all light and the bedroom is extremely dark even when the sun comes up!
We also really loved the location. This neighborhood felt like home right away and the proximity to the park just can't be beat! It's also extremely quiet at night (my husband is a very light sleeper, so this was important). There's a whole foods a few blocks away, a safeway right across the park and several independent supermarkets nearby as well, including a bodega-type place around the corner that is very convenient for grabbing essentials. There are also lots of lovely shops and restaurants on 9th and Irving, a short walk away (we particularly recommend Arzimendi Bakery and Manna!) Another major advantage is the proximity to public transport with MUNY just two blocks away and a direct line to the Caltrain.
Overall we highly recommend this apartment as a base to explore San Fransisco, the thoughtful details and helpful hosts make this place feel like home away from home!
