July 2018. Toni’s guest suite has a lot to recommend it: located at ground level at the rear of her home, it is quiet and just two steps (literally) from her back garden, where we enjoyed morning coffee each day. The area, near Clement Street, has a wide variety of restaurants and shops, and there are several bus routes located within a few blocks, making it easy to get around the city. My husband and I spent five nights there and would definitely want to stay there again the next time we are in SF. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished, and a perfect size for the two of us; I do think it would be a tight squeeze for more than two adults, but I suppose that depends on what you are accustomed to. The apartment is probably not well suited for anyone using a walker or needing to lean on an arm to for support – there is a fairly long stretch in the entry hall approaching the apartment that is only 24” wide – not a problem for us but a bit narrow for some situations. The lighting throughout the apartment is excellent and all on dimmers switches and the large windows in the living room provide excellent natural light throughout the day; there is a window in the bedroom also. Many reviewers have commented on the upscale furnishings and look of the apartment; the downside to this is that, since there is no room to eat in the kitchen, nor a table to eat at in the living room, we wound up holding our plates of carry-out food on our laps, sitting in the LR on the light-beige sofa, over the light-colored jute (?) rug and balancing our drinks on the white, hair-on-hide covered ottoman …beautiful, but slightly scary – think spaghetti and meatballs with red wine! We managed without a spill (!) but because of the décor and the lack of a dining table, I would hesitate to classify the space as “kid-friendly”. The garden is mostly paved, with a 2-3 foot border of vegetation around the perimeter, and there is a comfortable, outdoor sofa for seating. There was, as a previous reviewer has noted, dog poop in the garden, but it was confined to the grassy areas and far enough away from the seating that it did not detract from our enjoyment of the area. The one difficulty we encountered during our stay occurred upon our arrival, as Toni had given us what turned out to be incomplete check-in instructions: she had provided a code for the smart lock which opens a door from the street into a corridor along side of the garage, but had neglected to mention either that an actual key was needed to access the apartment itself, or where we would find the key. Fortunately, her housekeeper was still on the premises and was able to Fortunately, her housekeeper was still on the premises and was able to locate...
