Since finding Barry’s house – CdM – I’ve sent numerous five star reviews of our stays. I can’t speak more highly of the entire setup we come to each time. The house is perfectly maintained, spotlessly cleaned, fully stocked. Our stay is quiet, comfortable, refreshing. It’s a beautiful neighborhood that we enjoy strolling through, and gives us quick access to the light rail, the buses, and BART. One thing I would like to stress is how attentive Barry is to his guests. He responds immediately to any issues we have and is always available to contact. Needless to say, we are looking forward to our next visit to San Francisco and to CdM!

Barry is a fantastic host. This place is so charming. The location was perfect for all the places we wanted to go around town. Knowing we always have a parking spot was such a plus for us. The “no chores” feature was incredibly nice after staying at so many places with a long list of rigid expectations.

Excellent stay. The home is very comfortable, well furnished, and extremely clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is excellent (a new one for us in SF) with easy access to downtown, and a real neighborhood feel, good restaurants and take out options. Barry is a great host, very responsive and clear in his communications and helpful with local suggestions, etc. Definitely a 5 out of 5 stay.

Great place for family stay

This home was a great spot for our family of four — two adults and two teens. We did some college tours and explored the city. I loved that it had parking and was close to the highway and the airport and allowed us easy access to the rest of the city. The owner was super responsive with communication and I love that coffee was available and the home has a kitchen with everything you need. Would love to stay again.

Terrific stay - again.

We've stayed at Barry's place 3-4 times now, and we appreciate it even more after settling in several times. Clean, spacious, great neighborhood, easy access to markets, on and on. Love his coffee! Is it any surprise - we're going back again in a couple of months!

We used the Sunny 1920s Gem as a base for visiting San Francisco and Muir Woods. The host has meticulously appointed the house with many thoughtful details. It was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The location is convenient for public transportation, and the off-street parking was a plus. The neighborhood is nice and we felt safe at all times. Definitely recommend you consider this location.

Great stay

Beautiful property in quiet neighborhood. Host was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Property is conveniently located off major freeways and public transportation making it very convenient to get around San Francisco. Definitely more comfortable and cost-efficient than staying at a hotel—free, on-site parking is a real bonus. Great stay!

It was an amazing stay, we loved it. Barry was great and very accommodating. We were surprised to find our that it didn't have washer/dryer (totally me not checking the listing) and Barry gave a list of services that can help the laundry, so the workaround was good.

Fantastic Stay

The property was perfect for our family. The living room had a wonderful arrangement, and the couch is indeed perfect for afternoon naps. The host went to great care to setup everything we could need; from measured out coffee to a wonderful booklet about the property and the area. We would gladly stay here again.

Wonderful Place!

This place was so nice and comfortable! It had everything we needed and Barry even had special ground coffee for each day we stayed. Having a place to park our car was great as we took public transportation to see all we wanted to see. I would highly recommend this place. The neighborhood was quite at night and the street was very family friendly.

It was so nice to have parking available. The last thing I wanted to deal with after a busy day was to try to find parking! What I loved most though was the coffee that was measured out for one pot to use each day. It saved me from buying a pound of coffee from the grocery store. Barry's place was comfortable and inviting and perfect for myself and two teenagers.

Barry provided clear instructions and a pleasant environment for our stay. The apartment is clean and spacious, and it was easy to access all points of interest in San Francisco and beyond. We slept well thanks to the comfortable beds and the quiet neighborhood. During a short power outage, Barry proactively made sure we had lights, a charging station, and extra blankets. Highly recommended for families.

Spacious, comfortable and clean

We had a quiet Thanksgiving weekend in this lovely, well appointed, older home in what seems to be a genuine working class SF neighborhood. We didn't need a car, and were fine using Uber and also walking to the nearby BART station. There are a lot of tasty cheap eateries nearby including a few good tacquerias, and a pupuseria.

Easy and comfortable!

This house is in a great neighborhood. Can walk to Mission. Also, easy to call for an Uber or Waymo. A parking spot is included. The flat was clean, full of light, and in a safe area. Loved having a bidet. Barry was responsive, warm, and even left some goodies. The house is well maintained and it was easy to feel at home. We felt comfortable, and would love to stay here again.
