My husband and I recently “vacationed” in our old SF neighborhood and stayed at the Cow House. We knew we made the right choice after a long trip from the East Coast, to arrive (easy access and parking) to a fresh loaf of sourdough bread baked by host, and a regional pinot noir. We were “home” and our hosts thought of every detail.
The apartment was perfect in every way. We enjoyed all of the creativity and coolness our hosts integrated into the space. Comfortable, colorful furniture; the large glass doors and windows provided light and a cozy warmth to the SF March chill. The design and décor of the place felt like we were in a Sunset Magazine feature…the large windows offered views of a colorful plants and outdoor sculptures: figures, vintage signs, a little Victorian house made of discarded windows and decorative woodwork.
The kitchen and bathroom were outfitted to suit all of our needs--all the creature comforts! Curbless shower, great water pressure and bath robes. The kitchen? Every tool you could need, a great toaster oven, Peets coffee and sparking water.
Comfortable bed linens and black-out curtains made resting there possible. Our hot showers and comfortable bedding healed any time zone issues we had. We felt rested and ready to go each morning.
The easy location (and yes, parking) made easy trips to downtown (280), Glen Park and Daly City (for much easier shopping!) very easy.
We were gifted another loaf of sour dough bread--delicious (I mean really good) and warm, and scones another morning.
Can’t say enough about this place and good SF people. Generous and thoughtful hosts--well appointed, clean and cool apartment.
