Why the Owner Chose Castro
It's the best neighborhood in the City. Great weather, central location, quintessential San Francisco experience. Super safe, hip and fun.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
We're just up the block from a major subway stop and the center of the City. You can stay here and have total quiet, but then just walk out the door and you're in a thriving neighborhood! tons of interesting folks, great restaurants and pubs, awesome shopping at one of a kind stores, fun bars and clubs, the best coffee shop in SF (Peet's) and so much more. Oh yea, you can get anywhere in the city with one $2 subway ride.
Great food, high end spot with amazing cocktails. I love the pomegranate margarita with agave nectar.
great independent convenience store half a block form the apartment. Awesome wine selection!
Best Soy Cappuccino in the world. Strong coffee and a great tea selection. I head to Peet's most every morning that I'm in the City. If you see Laura - tell her Wyatt sent you. 2257 Market St San Fran
I go here often. Great wine list, great setting, Vietnamese food is really good. Great soups and rolls. Easy for vegans. 4039 18th St San Francisco, CA 94114 (415) 626-2260
open late. european style cafe. 2298 Market St San Francisco, CA 94114 (415) 621-8579
well...if you like Starbuck's, there is one here, just 2.5 blocks from the apartment. I'm sure it's the gayest Starbucks in the world. :) 4094 18th St San Francisco, CA 94114 (415) 626-6263

Owner's Map of Castro
I've traveled to more than 40 countries and I think San Francisco is one of the best cities on earth and the Castro neighborhood is THE BEST of San Francisco, It's a hip, super clean and safe, vibrant and diverse neighborhod - really the quintessential San Francisco spot. The weather is great; nice and sunny even when most the City is fogged in and cold.
The only thing better than living here, is getting to share it with others. I love making sure my guests have an amazing stay and have total privacy as well.
I worked at the Ritz Carlton for years and the experience stuck with me. I've made the flats a luxury home away from home, with everything as perfect as possible.
I'm sure you'll love it here at Casa Luna SF.
Cheers,
Wyatt

We stayed here as a family of five. The appartment was gorgeous and had everything we needed for a stress free start to our holiday. The location was brilliant - the Castro district - with great delis and restaurants - Chow's, Harvey's, Catch, to name but a few. The appartment is rifgt next to a tube station and has great bus and tram links. The outside area was peaceful and we all loved the jacuzzi bath.
Owner response:Thanks!

This apt was perfect for our family of 4 (myself, husband & 2 teenage daughters). Location was great, central to all bus & streetcar lines. Tastefully decorated with all amenities. Beds were comfy & kitchen was wonderful, although in the city of great food we didn't use it as much as I'd of liked. I've already recommend this apt to all our friends.

This condo is absolutely beautiful and clean! The entire experience from booking to entering to departing was very easy and smooth. It is located right off of Castro St. and less than 1/2 block from the Muni entrance. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone visiting the San Francisco area.

Casa Luna, I just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time in San Francisco and a big part of it was because of the amazing place we had to stay. It's convenient location was a huge plus for going out in the evenings and doing all the touristy stuff during the day. Not to mention that the inside of the house was just as beautiful as well as your incredibly well done back yard. We will be planning our next years vacation very soon and we are definitely going to be coming back to your amazing house for two weeks instead of just the four days. Thanks again for the awesome time, Jile Holmberg-Meyn

Hi Debbie, thanks for the email. We loved your place, it was perfect for us and we would love to come back soon. We especially appreciated the eco-friendly touches - not so common in most units we have rented.

What a beautiful appartment. Very clean and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped and the backyard is heaven. We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Luna. The area is safe, full of restaurants and groceries, close to the MUNI (7 minutes ride to down town) and the F market bus. Next time we are in SF we will definitely return to Casa Luna. The owner is friendly and very helpful.
