A truly excellent property in a prime location, managed by an outstanding host. Things we loved:
1. Location - We were looking for a place inside the San Francisco city limits and "settled" for Daly City, but almost immediately we found the Daly City location far better than had we been in SF. There are a lot of restaurants nearby (walking distance) (Mediterranean, Filipino, Hawaiian, Mexican, etc. plus an Inn N Out Burger!) Restaurants nearby had great prices for the mass quantities of great food that we needed for our large family. Also, we found Daly City just far enough south to get sun, while crossing into SF brought you into summer fog. Still, SF is very close at hand. We had easy access to great playgrounds in Golden Gate Park for the kids. So much to do, so easy to access. In my opinion, Daly City is the best place to stay if you want a great experience and easy access to all that the City of San Francisco provides.
2. Quality of the home. This property is newly built. Everything is new and clean. There were no issues with the home or any of the home systems.
3. Outstanding host - Johnny kept himself available to us, answering messages typically within 5 minutes or less. The front door Cypher lock had a problem on our arrival (these things do happen sometimes), but Johnny provided us the garage door code. We got into the house without delay and Johnny had the lock fixed on the first business day after our arrival. There were no other issues with the property, but had there been other issues, I am confident that Johnny would have fixed them without delay. I will also add that Johnny was engaged, but not hovering. I had another experience in another place where the host, who lived nearby, made frequent and unannounced "visits" which were more like intrusions into our privacy. Johnny gets it right. He came by the property once during the week to provide us needed supplies, but let me know in advance. That is what you want in a host - attentive, but respectful of privacy.
4. Two full size refrigerators, one in the kitchen, another upstairs. This allowed us to keep the beverages cold without impacting food storage.
5. Two tank-less hot water heaters. What good is it to have 8 bathrooms if you run out of hot water after two people shower. But with these modern tank-less hot water heaters there is never a shortage of hot water.
Those are the things we loved. There was nothing that we didn't love.
In summary, I think that a large family such as mine will have a truly outstanding experience at this property. We loved it and we will be back!!
