                            We spent 4 nights at this apartment. It is at a fantastic location. We bought 3-day transit passports and had no problem getting around the city with 3 kids. The apartment is well maintained with everything we needed. Washer/dryer, laptop, Wi-Fi, and Netflix were bonus. Can't think of anything that was lacking. On the last night, we came home to fireworks across the bay which we watched from the balcony. Highly recommend this apartment especially for families.

                            Apartamento comfortable, completo, bien preparado para recibir turistas y con una muy linda vista. Está un poco lejos de los lugares turísticos mas importantes de San Francisco (aprox. 20 min. en automóvil). El dueño (a quien no vimos personalmente) se preocupó en todo momento de que estuvieramos cómodos. También nos permitió enviar correspondencia a su casa, que recibió días antes de nuestro arribo.

                            This was my family's first visit to California. This was our first destination and we loved the apartment! Paul was a very gracious host, providing everything we needed to feel comfortable. Beautiful views from the balcony, very nice neighbors. The apartment is very close to Fisherman's Wharf, The Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, access to Alcatrez, and of course Twin Peaks overlook. We enjoyed eating both in and out. I absolutely love Paul's view on food. Oftentimes we have perfectly good food that we hate to throw away. He encourages leaving things for future guests. We were able to have eggs every morning for breakfast. Take some, leave some- a great philosophy. Everything was clean and fresh, with all the home away from home supplies a traveler needs. It was a pleasure meeting Paul and getting to chat a minute. We met one of the neighbors also and he was so helpful and very nice. Thanks again to Paul and Debbie for a good value for our money and helping us have a good start to our vacation!

                            We lived in San Francisco for 8 years and love coming back to visit friends and family. We were thrilled with the location, parking (what a luxury with two small children), furnishings and cleanliness of the apartment. The kitchen was stock with all appliances, pots, pans, dishes and utensils needed to cook. We were in close proximity to Safeway, Molly Stones, Starbucks, etc. Having stayed in several rentals in the Bay Area over the past four years, no VRBO owner has matched Paul in terms of provided detailed information to ensure we knew how to use the T.V., access the internet, find places of interest and nearby restaurants. We will absolutely return!!! Thank-you for such a wonderful stay.

                            This was our first trip to the USA, we stayed in Hotels in NYC, LA and Las Vegas, we booked this apartment for our last 5 days in San Francisco. This apartment was so nice, that we now wish we had booked apartments in the other cities instead of cold hotels. The apartment was a pleasure to come home to after a hard days sightseeing. The owner has a policy of leaving food from previous guests, there was ample amounts of Tea, Coffee, sugar, Olive oil, salt, pepper etc, there was even a big bag of pancake mix, we made pancakes every morning for breakfast. The view was to die for, you can see the whole city and Bay. There was a laptop computer that came in very handy for planning our sightseeing trips. Also a laundry room with detergent supplied. We parked our rental car in the garage and only really used it to go to the supermarket and to restaurants. Great Holiday, we would love to stay here again.

                            I had the good fortune to rent this unit for two-and-a-half weeks in March. The place is clean, comfortable, very well equipped, has an excellent bed (double with memory foam mattress). The sheets are lovely, soft . There are lots of towels and a terrific shower. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors offer a wide-focus view of downtown San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, the Oakland hills. It is a dramatic and dynamic view -- one that I could -- and did -- spend hours admiring. A short 10-minute walk down (and back up) steep hills takes you to the shops and many restaurants of Noe Valley. There's a bus outside the door that connects to the excellent transportation system the city offers. Paul provides a very useful guide to the local area. And for extra points he had a space for my car in the garage. I would definitely stay here on a return visit. It's quite a nice find.

                            My wife and I have been to San Francisco several times and we have stayed in a number of hotels. However, we believe that renting this apartment gave us the most relaxing and inviting experience we have had yet in this great city. We were made to feel very welcome and having a garage to park in and our very own amazing view of the city (one I have yet to have from a hotel window) made us feel as though we were locals. The apartment is very comfortable and at the end of the stay I did not have to add up all of the extra expenses: tips, parking, wi-fi, you name it. One price, great experience, hospitable proprietor... and can't say enough, try it for yourselves.

                            Paul's apartment was exactly what was described in the listing and in the reviews we read before our trip. The location was great - very easy access to lots of spots in the city and the garage parking was really nice to have after a day hauling 3 kids around. The apartment was clean, modern and well cared for. Internet access was a plus and Starbucks just down the road was a nice way to start the day. Our boys slept great on the futon and one of their favorite days of the whole trip was when we came back "home" after a day of sights and watched a movie and ordered pizza and chinese from two of places Paul had listed in his book of recommended restaurants. Great place for a wonderful family vacation - would definitely stay here again on a future trip.

                          Why the Owner Chose Twin Peaks:
                          We moved in to this building in 2004, it is a small apartment building with 4 apartments. We live on the top floor in apartment number 4, apartments 2 & 3 are rented to long term tenants and Apartment number 1 is set up as a tourist/vacation apartment. We both love to travel and have visited over 50 countries. We have stayed in all types of accommodations, and feel we know what tourists want in a vacation apartment. We have set up our vacation apartment as a “Home from Home” and have provided all the essentials to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Debbie and I love to meet people from all over the world; we have made many friends, shared travel tips and enjoyed the odd glass of wine or beer with some of our guests. We both love San Francisco and feel very lucky to live in this vibrant city. It is great to hear positive feedback from our guests from the places we have recommended. It is equally great when we have repeat guests returning to visit again.

                          The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                          Twin Peaks is in the very center of San Francisco, You can be anywhere in the city within a few minutes.
