We were beyond pleasantly surprised with this stay! This apartment offers so much natural light and the attention to details made it super comfortable. The master bedroom was spacious and the queen bed was a Tempurpedic so we slept well. The living room had space to set up the laptop and get work done and we enjoyed the full kitchen to prepare meals. The back patio is a bonus and feels inspired by a resort in Napa - a private place to dine, soak up the sun or use of the fire pit (just footsteps from the living room made it so magical). The bathroom is especially wonderful (hello, heated seat!) and you can tell that everything is brand new and super clean. Since we have a car, we were very happy to find abundant, free street parking right in front of the home. I will also note that this space would feel very safe to stay in if I were traveling alone. The space feels secure and offers your own entrance to the apartment with a personal code to unlock the door.
The hospitality from Lyman and Norma was truly special. They provide complete privacy, but at the same time offer a space that is extremely welcoming. They are kind and responsive to any questions about the city and local food ideas. Since they offer add-on experiences, we decided to take the sourdough bread making course from Norma and she was a great teacher. My partner decided to charter Lyman to experience the local crabbing on a whim and was rewarded handsomely with HUGE Dungeness crabs (my partner was new to this fishery and Lyman created the most memorable experience). Lyman was patient and made sure that Sean felt safe, comfortable and shared information about the fishery. What a treat...fresh, hot crabs one night and crab cakes for brunch. Awesome. Just awesome! Highly Recommend this place and if you want to see SF like a local sign up for an experience. You will not be disappointed.
