GREAT LOCATION!

The apt is nicely furnished and is extremely quiet even though it is located on a busy street. We were able to park our large sized Jeep in the garage and that was a big bonus as we stayed for the entire month of January, 2010. Best of all is the location. You can walk to Japantown, the Public Library, downtown, and easily to Market St where you can catch the streetcars or buses. There are two Safeway stores within walking distance. And we really enjoyed the shops and bakery nearby on Hayes St. Di was a huge help to us and is always available in case a problem arises. We highly recommend this location for your stay in San Francisco. You won't be disappointed.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your comments, I am very please that the flat and I could offered you the happy experience while you were visiting in SF.

You feel like you are in the heart of San Francisco while you are here. Close to all sorts of attractions, Golden Gate Park is in close walking distance and a must visit. Many cool shops and restaurants all around. The Flat was cozy and well kept. Di was a friendly host and was very accommodating, I would stay here if we were to come back. Good for a small family (2 kids and a baby) or even better for a couple get away.

We were very happy with our stay with Di. The apartment was actually better than I expected, very clean and furnished beautifully. We brought our own playpen for our daughter to sleep in, but it turns out there was one available! We arrived very late to check-in, around 11PM, but Di was very gracious and waited for us. Also, eventhough she usually turns down the heat in the evening (which also controls her side of the building), she was willing to keep it a bit higher for us since we had a baby. Many restaurants nearby and very convenient to transit. We would definitely stay there again if we return to San Francisco.

Great place to stay in a wonderful area. Di was very helpful. Lovely clean appt with home comforts. Close to a range of great eateries, transport and much better than staying downtown. Car space was good for the days we rented a car to travel up and down the coast. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Di.

We were looking for a place close to where our daughter lives in Hayes Valley and this flat fit us perfectly, being a five minute walk to her apartment! It is also walking distance many nice restaurants, shops, and public transportation.Try Domo restaurant for sushi in Hayes Valley and Cha Cha Cha restaurant in the Haight for Brazilian, delicious! The flat is amazingly quiet for being on such a busy street, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is spacious and very clean, and has the best stocked kitchen of any vacation rental we've stayed in. Di was a very friendly and accommodating hostess. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and plan on staying there again in the future.

Cosy and clean nest close to sightseings

Di's apartment was just perfect for our one week stay in SF. Di provided us cheerful and reliable service from the start of the reservation until our departure. The apartment was cosy, very clean and had everything needed for such a stay (good furnished kitchen and small but complete bathroom). The bedroom for two is confortable and quiet, the living room where you can also sleep is a bit less quiet as Fell street has some trafic. What we even more appreciated was that it is located in the middle of the Lower Haight, where you can walk around and find many interesting shops and delicious restaurants. It is also close to almost everything you want to see in SF, via efficient buses (which go directly to Union Square, Ferry Building, Embarcadero, SoMa, Golden Gate bridge, Golden Gate Parc, aso, and to the cable cars that bring you up to Chinatown and many other places). You can buy one of those passports and you can go up and down the buses and cable cars as many times as you want. The apartment has also a garage, which was nice when I rented a car one day to go to the Muir Woods Park, but in SF you don't really need one as you can walk everywhere with the help of the buses. Great city, great apartment and very nice owner. I would go back there if ever I get to SF again. Sorry for my english, as me and my two teenagers come from Switzerland.

Amazing Find

I have so many good things to say about Di and her place that I hope I have enough space here to do that. Di is an amazing host. She is helpful in every way and very easy to talk to. The flat was immaculate. I am a cleaning freak and her place was spotless. It was very cute and 4 would fit perfectly and comfortably. It is centrally located. I love walking on Hayes Street. We took the F line to get to the Ferry Building on saturday to the Farmers Market. Di works there but for some reason we missed her. I also took bus 71 to get to Haight street. Three days at Outside Lands would not be so awesome without the flat. It made it extremely convenient to get to. If we ever in the city again, we definitely are coming back to Di's flat.

We stayed recently and loved this apartment. The location was excellent and the apartment was a real home from home. The area is great with loads of shops and facilities nearby. The access to any part of the city is very close and easy and the garage is a real bonus. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped.

Great in Hayes Valley

Excellent base for exploring San Fransisco. Leave the car in the garage (for european visitors, when US reviewers say that the garage fits a small car, they really mean a normal car) and walk. If it seems to far to walk, taxi to/from most parts of town is about USD 10. When finishing vintage shopping in Haight, our two teenage daughters were quite happy with the designer stores in Hayes Valley (and we found a few good restaurants) so you really do not need to go anywhere. And BTW, the host and the apartment are excellent.

Great location. Easy to get to anything you want to see or do in SF. Nice and quiet inside. Very clean. Comes with everything you need. Di is very friendly and helpful with great suggestions. Having your own parking is a huge plus for SF. Neat neighborhood with lots of cool shops and eateries. We can definitely recommend Di's flat as a great home away from home.
