  My boyfriend and I rented this place from 4/8 to 4/11. We are really glad we rented this place rather than booking a hotel. Ease of renting - 5/5 The owners were extremely nice and responsive. Transportation/Parking - 5/5 We had a car and were able to rent the parking garage in this building from the owners for $100. So, worth the money! Definitely recommend it if you are staying here. Parking is really hard to find and there are limits to how long you can park your car in one location. We took the bart/cables cars most of the time we were here. The bart station is a few minutes walk. Area - 4/5 - SF has a lot of homeless people all over the city. This area was no different. There were some homeless people around the area that made me a little uncomfortable at first. After awhile I got use to it. Amenities 5/5 - This place had linens, basic kitchen supplies, dishwasher,wireless internet, cable, laptop computer...everything you could need on vacation. I thought it was a little odd that they didn't supply any soap or shampoo in the bathroom. We just went to the corner store and bought some so it wasn't a huge deal. The washer/dryer here was a huge plus. However, it took us forever to figure out how to unlock the childproofing lock. The bathtub was one of my favorite things. The bathtub wall had frosted glass which let in light from kitchen. SO beautiful. Don't worry, no one can see you take a shower through the glass. :) Solarium/Sauna - 5/5 - The view from this solarium was breath-taking. So awesome! Garden 5/5 - Very cute garden with a BBQ. We had dinner outside one night. There were only two things that bothered me about this place. 1. Upon entering the apartment, I noticed a smell. I thought it was food from the people who stayed here before us, but the smell stayed our entire trip. It kinda smells like there is a gas leak. We did raise this concern to the owners and they checked it out right away. There isn't a leak, its just how this place smells. You stop noticing the smell after awhile. The owner said it might be the cleaning supplies from one of the closets. 2. One of the neighbors (not in this building - probably down the street) has a very loud dog that starts barking after he or she leaves for work. It starts around 7am and continues sporadically for a couple hours. Overall we really enjoyed our time here. I would definitely recommend place to friends and family.

  The apartment is wonderful. It is very relaxing there. You are provided with anything and everything you could possibly need for your stay. The location is great as well. Very close to BART and several Muni lines to downtown. You also have great food and coffee right around the corner. The bed is very comfortable and the place was extremely clean. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

  There was a slight hiccup in that the owner had to make an unexpected family trip to Holland so did not respond to our emails prior to setting off for San Francisco, but Nicky, the very charming girl left in charge looked after us very well on our arrival and made us very welcome. The apartment is as charming as advertized, and we very much enjoyed staying there. The kitchen is excellent and there's a nice computer nook, and just about everything we could possibly need provided in the apartment. Super lighting that creates an attractive ambiance. Nice to have Philz -- a tremendous coffee shop -- just around the corner, and a good little grocery on the corner. Fantastic murals in the area. The only parking garage is a 15 minute walk away -- a bit of a drawback -- but there is a garage in the apartment that next time we would ask to have the use of. The apartment was a great little home-from-home base for enjoying San Francisco.

  A quaint and well appointed gem of an appartment suited all of our needs and more. Nestled in a really fun neighborhood this apartment was wonderfully decorated and spacious. The outside garden was a joy and the rooftop solarium was an extra special bonus with it's sauna and great views. Transportation was within easy walking distance and the location close to the airport and center city. Phil'z coffee shop was around the block and was a real treat as were the neighborhood restaraunts. We will definately be back.

  This apartment really was home from home. It had everything that you need. We appreciated having the laptop too. The kitchen was really well equipped, including an expresso machine. The bed was really comfortable, even having our own bath robes and a selection of books. The area was interesting and vibrant with lots of murals. It was a 5 minute walk to the bus stop or BART station. We had a great week here and would definitely stay there again. A wonderful apartment in an amazing city.

  We stayed for four weeks and had the most amazing time! I was born in the City and my wife has been here for 20 years. We decided to take a place where we could "work from home" and still have all the fun the Mission has to offer. The apartment has such bright and comfortable personality from the colorful kitchen to the neat book collection in the bedroom. It was easy to work and play here with the home office space and the stores and restaurants right outside the door. (Philz Coffee is a daily thing that I will surely miss). Our dog, Jim, loved it too with a different walk every day! The Mission is all about living. The color of the murals, sounds of the voices, and textures all around make it a fantastic place to be. And you can walk to Valencia Street, the Castro, Downtown, anyplace you feel like from here. BART (The Bay Area's subway system) can get you even further, and there are even a few Zip Car (car sharing) parking areas around. A sweet place with personality in the heart of a vibrant city. Simone and Kurt's place is a great place to center your San Francisco adventure whether you are coming here for the first time or have been here your whole life. Bring good shoes!

  This is a cosy and warm apartment in close proximity to the city centre. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in, a big plus when you are travelling. We also really loved the espresso coffee machine, something we are used to in Australia. Most of all Simone was terrific to deal with, efficient and helpful. She allowed us an early check-in, and, after 14 hours of flying was greatly appreciated ! Thanks Simone! Lorri and Gerry Melbourne Australia
