We lived in Rachel's place for one month and it was a really enjoyable time. She is a very calm, polite and amiable person that's really interested in making your stay as comfortable, safe and fruitful as possible. It was a genuine pleasure to meet her.

The place isn't exactly close to Downtown, but it has good and convenient public transportation service. We had to go to Downtown everyday in the morning and it always took around 30 minutes. You have two options for that: a 15-minute walk to the 24th Street BART station with an additional 15-minute ride or a 5-minute walk to Church Street J Line Muni stop and an addional 25-minute ride. This commute was needed, but we never arrived late.

The location has some advantages: the street where the apartment is located is really quiet. There are good nearby grocery stores and restaurants. If you are looking to stay in a soul-less, aseptic, fakey touristic area, look elsewhere. But if you like history, a colorful neighborhood and a genuine feel, this may be the place for you.

The apartment had everything we could ask for. Do you like to cook? No problem, there is a large assortment of pans, pots, cutlery and plates available. Fridge, dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, toaster... You like coffee? There's not only a coffee maker, but a coffee bean grinder too! Did I mention the herbs and spices? Pepper, oregano, basil, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, garlic, curry and a lot more I can't remember right now.

The bathroom is good, they have washing machine and dryer, a very comfortable bed, two closets, a TV with DVD... There's a really good selection of movies, many filmed in San Francisco.

There's even a nice back garden, with tables and chairs. A nice place to relax or have your breakfast. We regret not having much time to enjoy it.

While not necessary, it's always better to be in a nicely decorated place. And this is the case here: they made good use of the available space and used furniture and fixtures that mix really well.

Last but not the least, there are a lot of guides, maps and tips that will help make your stay as good as possible.

We really recommend this place. Thank you Rachel!
