We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jolie's apartment. This is an ideal choice for families with small children as the place is fully equipped with toys and toddler-friendly beds and equipment. There's even a large backyard where children can run around. Our son enjoyed feeding the fish every day and was completely enamored with Jolie's cat, who was SUPER friendly and laid back.
We did not meet Jolie during our stay, but check-in went smoothly and she was quick to respond to any questions. She also left detailed instructions on the apartment as well as descriptions of nearby restaurants and parks, which we found very helpful.

Even if we weren't traveling with our toddler, my husband and I agreed that we would opt to stay in this neighborhood rather than staying downtown. The area is beautiful and is easily within walking distance of plenty of great parks, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops (try the coffee at nearby Repose), and stores. A car really isn't needed, though we did rent a car for one day so we could make it out to Muir Woods (which I would also highly recommend).

You do hear some noise from upstairs and off of the street at night, but we also live in a city and in an older apartment/flat, so this didn't bother us and certainly didn't keep us up at night.

We had a great time and would certainly love to return again. Thank you, Jolie!
