We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ivan and Wendy's home. Having lived in San Francisco before, we wanted something sunny and central and their location in the Mission is just that! We were 2 blocks away from Tartine bakery, where we spent most mornings reading the paper, drinking coffee, and eating croissants soaking up the local scene. At night we were walking distance from some of the best bars and small clubs in the city. Parking was also not impossible to locate in the vicinity.

The room in their home was with lots of sunshine, and views of their backyard. Their house was recently remodeled, and they took a lot of care to bring out it's Victorian features and restore it to it's original beauty. The bed was enormous, with soft white sheets, and a down comforter. I slept like a baby. There was ample closet space, and an empty dresser to store our mountain of shopping spree of items. The newly remodeled bathroom (which we had to ourselves) has terrific black and white tile, high ceilings, and a cool claw foot bathtub. The shower was powerful, and steaming hot--every day.

We didn't stay around the apartment much, but when we were there, both Wendy and Ivan were friendly and helpful in whatever request we had. Milo was also a welcoming host who loved the smell of my boots!

I highly recommend this as an option for anyone wanting to stay in SF. It is very well located, clean, sunny, friendly, and in my opinion, better than any hotel experience.

Thanks to you both for opening up your home for our stay!
