Joel and Mel were/are outstanding hosts. They take great care in providing a welcome and comfortable space for their guests. This was evident in event the smallest of details. The space was immaculate with all necessary and nice to have conveniences. Is a chilled bottle of Prosecco upon arrival a necessity or nice to have after travelling?! We went with necessity;) Do not be deterred by the separated master suite - taking a few steps through the fresh SF air with the amazing views is a highlight of the stay! The patios and outdoor space, including all the picture windows, make for the most tranquil visit. You almost feel as if you are in a (very well appointed) tree house - this is where the playfulness comes in! Makes for a very well rounded trip. Ample street parking, and no uber was deterred in the trek up or down the hill. Walking is still a viable option - we walked to Golden Gate Park a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the neighborhoods - one of the best SF past times. We look forward to returning next year!
