  Owner response: Hi Colin, thanks for the review! So glad you enjoyed our apartment as a "first landing place," during your transition from across the country to a new job in the SF Bay Area. Most of our guests stay for one month or more (like you did), but if you'd like to come back for a shorter stay, let us know, as we are sometimes able to accommodate. Good luck at the new job, and best wishes in the new year. Warmly, Rachel and Jeff

  Rachel and Jeff have a beautiful place, a quiet and cozy nest to stay in one od the best neighborhoosds in San Francisco. Everything in the apartment is useful and full of joy! The place is packed with everything you need for a vacation: they even have razors in case you forgot yours! The kitchen is fully equipped, and very generous. Everything they offer on the web page is provided, and more! It is a nice touch to arrive so late at night and find flowers, fruits, cereal, bread, and more food in the refrigerator: your first breakfast is ready! There is so much storage space, and the laundry works perfect. We walked through the neighborhood to find groceries, cafés, restaurants, bike shops, pilates, you name it! Rachel and Jeff are ALWAYS available to answer your requests (if there is any!). My wife and I found that we now have the perfect place to stay in the perfect city. Thank you very much Rachel and Jeff, for having created such a wonderful place, and for being such excelent hosts!

  I stayed for 6 weeks in this quiet, clean and excellently located studio. If you want to have the real San Francisco experience - meaning living like the locals - this is the right place. The renting procedure was easy and fast, the owners responded always immediately to my questions. The owners are very correct and extremely helpful. When I arrived, Rachel provided me with lots of books, maps and DVDs of films made in San Francisco! What is really excellent is that you are provided with a free transit pass so that you can use all public transport means in San Francisco. The studio is located in Noe Valley, a beautiful neighborhood with beautiful houses, which might seem for a tourist a bit far in the south of the city. However, with public transport, one is easily in 15-20 minutes in the city center (the studio is in walking distance to the airport BART!). As mentioned in the ad, the studio has wifi, a laptop and even a printer, which simplified my life enormously (I studied in San Francisco). One has direct access from the studio into a beautiful sunny garden. During my stay, the owners purchased a table and chairs so that I had my own, semi-private place in the garden. Thank you very much, Rachel and Jeff, I really enjoyed staying at your place!

  The appartment is great and very well appointed. We were very happy with our choice and were impressed with the owner's attention to details. After we left, we were waiting for the reimbursement of our security deposit. I contacted Rachel because I thought it would have been done right away. She didn't reply immediately because she was busy/away with family matters (which I completely understood once I knew). Because she had been so ''hands on'' since the beginning, I began to feel a little worried if I would get my money back (being thousands of miles away...). Anyway, it was all a misunderstanding and I finally got my security deposit back in a timely manner, but through all of this I was disappointed with Rachel's reaction to my worries. She was really offended that I even considered I could lose my money. She was very defensive in her emails and pushy... I finally just asked her to not write to me anymore (which she respected). I was hoping she would have been more considerate... I waited a long time before writing this review because I don't want her to lose any renters... but in the end I felt it was important to share this experience. Again, the appartment is great, the location is good, Rachel was very helpful. Thank you.

  Owner response: I am very pleased to see the wonderful 4-star review of our guest apartment from Kathy. In addition, I'm surprised to see that Kathy is still upset about a security deposit that I refunded IN FULL, only 7 days after her departure, nearly 8 months ago. As we say at SF Vacation Hut, "If it's important to you, it's important to us!" So ... I will respond. First, I would like to clear up exactly what happened here. Upon receipt of Kathy's initial message regarding the status of her security deposit, I responded immediately, cordially reassuring her that I was away on vacation and would return her deposit as soon as I got back. Luckily, that very same day I spied a "common use" computer in Yosemite and was able to process her deposit refund right away (a few days EARLIER than promised). Unfortunately, after my cordial message, Kathy began writing to me in a threatening tone. When I got back from vacation, I explained the situation and asked Kathy to apologize for her suspicious and threatening tone, especially given that I had already returned the deposit a few days prior. Not only did Kathy refuse to apologize, she asked that I never respond again, and I gladly obliged. :) Sadly, upon reading Kathy’s review, I see that she never understood what was wrong. She wrote here (about me) "She was really offended that I even considered I could lose my money." This underscores how completely Kathy misunderstood. In fact, I was not offended AT ALL when Kathy asked about the status of her deposit. I only became offended when Kathy began using a suspicious and threatening tone, AFTER I had assured her, in writing, that indeed she would be getting a full refund. Despite all of that, I do love that Kathy gave such a glowing review of the apartment, and my helpfulness and responsiveness throughout most of the process. Jeff and I enjoy creating a wonderful stay for our guests, from beginning to end, and we were sad to see the misunderstanding arise. After the incident with Kathy, we added the following to our guest rules: "The funds remaining in your security deposit will be refunded after your check-out and final cleaning, as soon as your hosts may conveniently do so, and no more than 21 days after your departure, per California state law." The prior wording was "as soon as possible after departure," and I realize this can mean different things to different people. :) We hope this clears things up for all future guests!

  This was the second time I've stayed at this apartment and I can honestly say the experience was even better than the first time which I didn't think was possible. The apartment has every amenity you can think of including a washer/dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, a safe and even a laptop with WiFi Internet access, printer, and camera so you can Skype. There's a wide selection of movies including many filmed in San Francisco as well as lots of books, travel guides and maps. The bed is incredibly comfortable and I always get the best sleep while I'm here. The location is excellent if you want to be in a more residential area as opposed to a downtown location. Noe Valley is vibrant and hip with lots of independently owned-coffee shops, stores, markets, etc. I like it because as a woman traveling alone I feel extremely safe. Rachel and Jeff are the owners and are hands down the factor that makes this such a wonderful rental. They go out of their way to make everything comfortable and inviting like having fresh-cut flowers inside when you arrive. Jeff even made a special trip to pick up a box I shipped out beforehand that contained some dietary items that I didn't want to haul on the plane. They are friendly and available to answer questions but aren't overly instrusive. Did I mention the Clipper pass? They even provide a pre-paid card that allows you to ride the buses, light-rail, and cable cars at no expense to you. Out back is a lovely garden with benches, chairs, lovely plants and flowers. It's like being in your own little secret garden. Very charming and comfortable. My only reservation about writing such an honestly glowing review is that the apartment won't be available next time I come! My husband and I have traveled all over the world and stayed in many rental apartments, condos, and houses. This is one of the best and I give it my highest recommendation. Thanks Rachel and Jeff for another great stay!!

  Rachel is such a considerate host. We arrived in late evening but she arrange so well that we have no problem in entering into the house. The whole place is equipped with everything needed for normal daily life of a small family. There's even a girl's robe for our 7-year-old daughter. We enjoyed the books there. The only part we feel not satisfied is the stay is too short to us.

  My sister and I recently enjoyed a stay at the Vacation Hut. The apartment is better than advertised and the neighborhood is wonderful. Jeff and Rachel pay meticulous attention to detail, from providing wonderful snacks and food for us to a plethora of books, maps and helpful tips to San Francisco. Transportation into downtown was just steps away and it was a pleasure to roam the neighborhood with all the shops and restaurants. The local folks are extremely helpful and very friendly. We hated to come home as we wanted to keep on California Dreaming!

  Absolutely loved SF Vacation Hut. My husband and I spent a week here (mid May 2011) We came to SF to celebrate our 38th anniversay. I cannot stress enough how perfect this place is. With airline travel being what it is now, here are all things you don’t need to pack because Rachel and Jeff provide them, they really care about their guests you can see it in their attention to all the details. Thank you guys!!! Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, laundry detergent/softener yes they have a washer and dryer (how great is that?) don’t need to bring the laptop they have that too, coffee, tea, juice, fresh fruit, breakfast items. Another thing you DO NOT need is a rental car. You came here to relax, who needs the extra expense of a rental car, gas, parking and the added stress of driving around in a city you don’t know? Arguing with your spouse about which way to go?? Forget it, this is one city where public transit is so good it will take you anywhere you want to go, and all you have to do is walk a couple of blocks in any direction and catch a train. So Awesome! After you’ve unpacked and get a feel for your surroundings you will start to see that you made the right choice by selecting this place. A couple of block in either direction you can catch either the MUNI or street car J-Church will take you all the way downtown within walking distance of everything you want to see, it is a bit of walking but it’s ok, you’ll be glad to be walking since there is so much great food and you don’t want to deprive yourself of anything, the great sourdough bread the cheeses the wine, I could go on and on.. Once you’re downtown from there you can take any number of street cars to get to everything, we took them to get to Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, The Presidio, Ghirardelli Sq. We also took a day trip to Napa Valley booked through Napa Experience Tour with Ferry Cruise highly recommend this one. From SF vacation hut we walked to the Castro neighborhood is a good walk uphill, downhill but there’s so much to see along the way it does not disappoint. Like I said before the vacation hut has everything you need including pots/pans utensils coffee maker, toaster microwave, we chose not to cook so that we could sample all the great restaurants and cafes in the area, so glad we did what a treat! This is another good reason to walk whenever you can, if you know what I mean?

  Four vases of flowers. Our names welcoming us on the whiteboard. A note by the door. A basket of insanely delicious treats—chocolate, crumpets, local jam, artichoke pesto, macaroons. And, yes, even toilet paper tied like a rose. Rachel's hospitality is incredible. That alone makes the SF Vacation Hut the BEST place I've ever stayed. From the moment we booked, Rachel became our unofficial travel planner for San Francisco. Restaurants, grocery stores, evening entertainment, local treasures, hiking spots—she sent us plenty of options, all with our schedule and interests in mind. She even created an "itinerary" for one day, complete with a Google map plotting each destination. My husband and I are both vegans, which can make meals on vacation ... challenging. Not so with Rachel: She sent detailed descriptions of the best vegan eats in town, including their proximity to the apartment. Chinatown? Breakfast diner? Donuts? Mexican? She has every craving covered. And, of course, everything in our gift basket was vegan. The apartment was gorgeous, roomy, clean, and designed very intentionally. Don't worry about luggage or kids—there's plenty of space. The bed is unbelievably comfortable. The kitchen has everything you'd need, from a coffee grinder and pots to rarer items like a juicer, garlic press, and pretty drink glasses. As another reviewer mentioned, Rachel also stocks the apartment with thoughtful touches like umbrellas, robes, a sewing kit, DVDs, tour books, and maps that have nearby restaurants and attractions marked. The laptop is wonderful too; it's already hooked up to wireless and a printer. We didn't even bring ours on the trip! Finally, if the hospitality and apartment aren't enough, the location is excellent. It's quiet, safe, and close to both public transportation and awesome shops. You definitely feel like you're staying in the *real* San Francisco there! If you're visiting the area soon, don't hesitate to book the SF Vacation Hut. Hands down, it was the best decision we made for our vacation!

  my husband and i spent the holiday week in san francisco. we chose this property because of its close proximity to our son's home. this was our first experience using vrbo and we were a little concerned about what we might find. what a great decision to stay here! the apartment is a studio but has a large bathroom, full kitchen and laundry room, all well stocked. there is plenty of storage for getting suitcases and travel gear out of the way so the suite feels roomy. it is comfortably furnished and immaculately clean. the location is a wonderful place to experience and enjoy all of san francisco. the j church train is a few blocks from the suite - a 15 minute ride into the heart of san francisco. fare is $2.00, $.75 for seniors so seeing all the downtown tourist sites is doable without a car. there are other trains going out to golden gate park where the academy of science and tea garden are a short walk from the bus stop. but spending time in noe valley is a must! this quaint neighborhood is one of the warmer, sunnier locations in the city, filled with restored homes and gardens that you can only find in san francisco. wonderful restaurants, parks, playgrounds, coffee shops and shops of all descriptions are nearby. both church and 24th street, an easy, flat walk from the suite, are filled with small shops of all descriptions- cheese shops, toy shops, jewelry - so many boutiques with one of a kind gems. on the other end of the shopping spectrum large grocery stores and a chain drugstore are a short walk from the suite so dining in is easy. dining out in noe valley is amazing- so many choices, so many cuisines, all so accessible. don't miss the ice cream shop for dessert! parts of noe valley valley are VERY hilly- steep grades that are a workout just getting in and out of the apartment. this suite is very user friendly- located on a flat street, adjacent to flat streets that make walking the neighborhoods very doable. rachel's hospitality is incredible, better than the best hotels we have ever stayed at. the suite has so many extras to make your stay comfortable, she has thought of everything. she is available if you need something but invisible if you prefer privacy. we have visited san francisco/noe vally many times. this visit was especially wonderful and our accommodations made all the difference.

We have found that a written Agreement outlining fully our mutual understanding of the rights and obligations affecting both you (“Guest,” or “You”) and us (“the Host,” "Owner," "I," or “We”) throughout the course of our rental relationship is the best way to ensure that the parties have indeed reached and do share such an understanding.
