Andy and Tanya were excellent hosts.
Communication: Andy was speedy, efficient, friendly, professional, and clear. He makes himself available all the time for questions or concerns. Also, Andy and Tanya contribute to the community and had held a fundraiser for a modern dance company (Project b) at their home. We were treated to a fantastic performance. My sons loved it.
House and accommodations: everything in their home was well thought out and streamlined. Anything you need is stocked yet the home is not cluttered in the least. All products are eco friendly. Conditioner, shampoo, and body wash are provided should you forget yours. Instructions are clear and posted. The house manual was short, concise, and informative. We brought our 2 kids (7 and 3) and there were toys and furnishings that accommodated them (high chair available if needed). The home is very child friendly straight down to the blinds. We are picky about beds, linens, towels, and shower heads and had no worries here. Everything here would be found at your Four Seasons hotel. Imagine all the glitches in your home you wished were corrected...it's so well designed that all activities are seamless and make your stay really enjoyable.
Neighborhood and restaurants: we walked at night with our kids and never once felt any danger loomed. It's such a wonderful neighborhood. Uber and Lyft were always minutes away (Lyft drivers often do not have booster seats, bring your own or be ready to have it canceled). The home is a great spot to get to other hot spots, to include the Mission. The immediate eateries and cafes were awesome and in walking distance, as were 2 terrific playgrounds. Frozen yogurt, whole foods, a wine and beer shop, Philz coffee (kiddie playground across the street), Charlie's Corner bookstore for kids, Saru sushi, Pressed juicery, and the were some places we stopped frequently over our 10 day stay. Dolores park is in walking distance, though not "close" and is mainly downhill from now valley, however coming back you'll want to be in wheels unless you're prepared to climb steep hills (this was our experience with kids). Should you need to park a car, parking was easy and could be found on the same street as Andys home. Seamless food delivery was also another way to get food delivered for nights you can't get out with kid in tow.
Our kids enjoyed the neighborhood, neighbors, parks, and local eateries more so than the cable cars, Fishermans wharf, china town, Muir Woods, The presidio, lands end, and golden gate bridge.
If you appreciate design, architecture, good food, value safety, and want a fantastic host, this is your SF pick. Hands down. Tip: Noe Valley is generally sunnier than the other neighborhoods. If this is important to you as it was for us Seattlites, you'll want to stay here.
