We received quick and courteous feedback from Julie regarding their home. She was incredibly generous with answering questions and addressing any concerns we had pertaining to having our two young children at the property.

The layout is such that a family can enjoy meals together at a large table but also each have reading nooks inside and outside on the sun-drenched patio looking into a verdant hillside with wild flowers, trees and humming birds flitting. It was a delightful treasure to have this quiet space tucked behind the house. A deck and rocky pathways that wound into green. The girls both adored looking around back there.

The location in Glen Park was perfect for us. It allowed us to ride public transport (there's a BART, streetcar and bus lines running every few minutes) to see more of the city but also the neighborhood of GP was also quaint with personality, delicious food and an easy gourmet/organic market with everything we could possibly need (although for a BIG grocery run, avoid doing it here as it's $$$$).

If you're cooking during your stay, all basic pantry stapled were available, bonus of sharp knives and nice plates/silverware. The television and music options on the roku box were lovely and we enjoyed nightly dancing in our pj's with our little ones before bed.

Tree views greet you on either side of the house. The house is on a busy street but you would never know it, the windows are double-pained and an inch thick. You don't hear a thing. Our kids slept in the guest room and it was silent, with nice dark curtains. We did wish that the windows in the front of the house had secure screens to allow for a better breeze to pass through the home. But without the screens, you can see the unobstructed canopy of trees that characterize the beauty of this neighborhood.

The park is very close but down a steep street. We chose to enjoy the grandeur of Golden Gate Park instead which is a 20 minute bus ride away on one bus that comes virtually outside your door. The garage space was a lovely bonus of the property as well.

Linens and towels were soft, duvet covers clean and pillows of varying fluff and support were ample. Water pressure was great...both shower and bath available for your preference. And AVEDA mini-products were out for our use with melted my heart!

If you are looking for a space that will have you smiling out the kitchen window in both the morning and at sunset...this is the place. Do note the stairs leading up to the entrance and flight leading into the home inside the door (if you're thinking of kids too young to walk or who are unsteady on staircases).

All in all, friendly hosts, interesting decor and lovely amenities!
