Leo and Veronika were excellent hosts! It started even before our stay commenced, when they allowed us to store our luggage at their place as we were spending on night at Yosemite prior to our stay, but were only bringing minimal stuff along and needed a space to store our luggages. The location is as it says "Top of Telegraph Hill", so expect to be walking uphill every time you return to the apartment unless you take a taxi all the time. Useful to note if you are someone adverse to uphill walking or stairs climbing. Location is really accessible, with many eateries in Little Italy and Chinatown all within walking distance. The gift basket was a lovely welcome, as others have mentioned, and there was even a little folder containing much needed information like wifi details, nearby attractions and amenities. The apartment is cosy, and heating works great. However, if there are more than 3 persons staying, be mindful of the possible lack of living space as our family of 4 had very little personal space once the living room futons were set up as beds for my brother and I, in addition to the space taken up by our luggages. There is the kitchen as a recluse, and one bathroom that is shared and well-stocked with essential toiletries. There is only one closet, which could do with more hangers when there are more people staying, as there isn't much other space around the apartment for clothes and jackets.
The entire unit occupies one level, and it is also the street level so do expect some street noise, especially if you are sleeping in the living room.
We had an issue with an odour in the living room, but Leo was really helpful in trying to remedy it the very next day, airing the apartment when we were out and turning on fans to ventilate it.
All in all, an enjoyable stay which I would return to, but perhaps with a smaller group and less luggage.
