Overall we enjoyed our stay in Beatrice’s penthouse. Beatrice has excellent communication and was very responsive and helpful with questions/ issues that came up throughout our stay. She even organised a crib for our infant.
The apartment was spacious and has a spectacular view of the bay. It is in a prime location in Pacific Heights/ Cow Hollow just minutes walk from Union and Chestnut streets, where you can find anything from grocery stores and coffee shops to boutique stores and fancy restaurants.
Having a parking spot on premises is also a great plus.
In terms of other things to consider - the apartment is old and requires a deep cleaning as well as a thorough update of the kitchen tools and utensils and the bedding. Given this apartment is offered for long term stays (as was ours) we expected a higher attention to details. For example, the kitchen cabinets need cleaning and rearrangement, the pantry needs to be cleaned from clutter, the extra bedding need re washing and folding, etc. Also, we ended up purchasing a few essential items that weren’t available such as broom, hampers, laundry baskets (washer and dryer are on a different floor), etc.
