We are a family of five, with 3 children aged 5 to 13. We found a flat immaculate, the pictures don't give it justice. IT was better that I expected, especially about the size and floor plan. It is very spacious, with much light and nice views. We were happy to have so many bedrooms, my brother coming from Europe could be on his own, and y little one also. Many buses are within a few block areas. Being so close to the Golden Gate Park was a real joy, so was the Whole foods just around the corner. The district has a great vibe: Haight Ashbury. Joseph and his mother are very helpful and welcoming. Joe even managed to give me a name for a car to pick us at the airport, very useful with our big family.We managed to use the shower without any problem. In Haight street there are many restaurants, we didn't have the time to try them all.. We need to come back!We would definitely stay here again and can't wait to come back to San Francisco! Thanks Joe!

Beautiful home with comfortable beds and down comforters. We loved having a big space for our family as well as private rooms for everyone when we needed our space. Wonderful views and the kitchen as well as the whole house is well equipped! There is an extra roll away bed as well as plenty of blankets, pillows, and bath towels for everyone. Super clean, even for my picky mother! :) We loved it and plan to come back again!!

My family of 5 had a very comfortable week here. 3 nice 'queen' BR's in a great location, a quiet spot in the Haight (great fun), central to all areas of SF, and right next to GG Park. Roomy and well equipped kitchen was also nice. Thanks for letting me move the furniture around a little bit Joe. We'll be back!

Comfy and quiet location in Haight Ashbury. Clean and spacious. Owner was helpful and welcoming. We found a great Thai restaurant just around the corner - Ploy II-Thai Cuisine at 1770 Haight St. - yummy! Also near Whole Foods. Look forward to returning!

We stayed for four nights and had a lovely time here. Accomodations very comfortable and clean. Thanks for having coffee there!. Liked the electronic lock, no need to carry or worry about a key. One half block to Golden Gate park, lovely restuarants and fun shops on Haight St. Parking hit or miss, forget the rental and take public transit. Would stay here again. There was this FABULOUS Thai restaurant called Ploy that had excellent food. Whole Foods was going up around the corner in August to make shshopping more convenient. Make sure to get it while you're there! Owner very helpful in answering questions.

We stayed at this home for three nights during Thanksgiving holiday. It was very comfortable, charming and very clean. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and we had everything we needed. There were six of us staying there and it was a relaxing and comfortable experience. The home is close to lots of shops and restaurants which are within walking distance but if you don't feel like walking public transportation is just a block away. It was great to be able to walk through Golden Gate park just two blocks away. Very quiet neighborhood and the owners were so great to us. There are stairs but who cares? It was worth it!

Nice place to stay with a larger (3+) group. Close to everything. Transportation options abundant. Parking so-so, but that's like everywhere in SF.

We stayed at the condo for a week during 4th of July a couple summers ago. The flat was clean and inviting and in a great neighborhood. We walked everywhere and watched the fog roll over Twin Peaks in the morning from the back porch. I can't imagine a better place to stay for the location and price. Thank you so much for such a good time.

Lovely place to stay. With 5 adults it was great to have the 4 bedrooms (although one is very small with a cot), two bathrooms, and two living areas. Only 1 TV, but hey who goes to SF to watch TV? It is a 3rd floor walkup so be prepared for that. Lots of action on Haight street one block away, but Page street is very quiet. Great access to the lovely Golden Gate park, bus lines, and rail line. Having a washing machine on site is a plus for extended stays, but contact the owner rep on site in order to gain access and get instructions to the basement. I would definitely stay here again if traveling with family. Very Nice!

Great location, nice, friendly neighborhood...quiet at night. Very comfortable accomodations and the stairs were great exercise! If you love being close to Golden Gate Park, this is the place to stay! Dealing with the owner was a pleasure...we intend to go back again next year if not sooner!

An enjoyable stay in this comfortable, homely character-filled apartment. Excellent location, close to park and easy bus trip to Downtown. Colourful and interesting neighbourhood, with shops and cafes. Friendly and hospitable owner lives in bottom flat. Large number of steep stairs may be difficult for some guests.

We enjoyed our stay. The flat is very roomy and provides all the necessities to enjoy yourself. Beds were very comfortable. Be prepared to climb stairs....we were, so was not a surprise. Only issue was the parking, we drove around the block several times until a space would open up...this is also normal for most of SF. I would stay here again.
