Philip and Wendy gave us a warm welcome when we arrived. The apartment is at a lower level of a larger house (where the hosts live), but fully functional and self-contained. It even has its own very nice stone patio with fabulous views of the hills and the SF airport. The house is located near the top of a large hill. It was very fun to watch large A380s and 777s take-off in the distance. However, the noise was low and with the doors closed you couldn't hear anything inside the apartment.

Inside the apartment is large and very practical. A large comfortable queen-size bed, a sofa-bed, pretty new washer-dryer, large TV, fast wifi, very modern tables/chairs and a modern finish. We were surprised just how much storage space was hidden away in all the shelves and drawers. There is also a separate large closet area next to the bathroom.

Downtown South SF is very close by, a pleasant 10-15min walk. They have nice coffee shops, restaurants (I particularly like Siam Spoon Thai), and a library, among other things all very close by. Department stores like Target, Safeway and a movie theatre are also just 5mins drive.
