Not only was it a pleasure to stay at Arlene and Leon's apartment, but they swiftly and helpfully dealt with an initial access/cleaning problem. This was especially impressive given that they were on the east coast and working their way to the airport at the time this all happened. Someone's true character is more evident when problems arise, and I can strongly recommend Leon and Arlene as gracious hosts who will do what is necessary to make your stay comfortable and pleasant.

Their garden is beautiful and relaxing, and the apartment is quiet and as nice as the photos. The "J" muni is also on the corner, which is unbelievably convenient, and although I didn't realize how great this was based on the reviews, there is no better option to move about town.

The neighborhood is quiet and pretty. On the corner there is a conveniently-located bodega, and only a short walk away is the 24th Street commercial strip with lots of nice sit-down food options, and a Whole Foods in case you want to make any meals or snacks in the apartment kitchen. Dolores Park and the mission are also a short walk away, and Union Square is maybe 15-20 minutes away on the J muni.

We had a great time here on our honeymoon, and we would stay again with Arlene and Leon.
