Fantastic: location, views, space

I enjoyed a month here: A spacious, well-provisioned flat in Dolores Heights convenient to shopping and great food nearby. I couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. The landlord was acessible and commendably responsive but not intrusive.; our exchanges were very pleasant.

Fabulous Stay!

Alan's place is in the perfect location and perfectly appointed. We stayed for month and it felt like home. Quiet, clean, amazingly comfortable bed, gorgeous views, stocked kitchen, etc. We walked a ton all over the Mission and Noe Valley. Parking on the street without a sticker was never an issue, left it all day and no ticket. Do keep an eye on street cleaning, though! Best VRBO experience we've had. Highly recommend!

Dolores Park City Views

Would stay again, however, be aware one outdoor flight of stairs and one indoor flight, common in neighborhood. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Nice eat in area and porch off kitchen. Extra room with desk for working. Short walk to muni transportation. Host quick to respond to questions.

Thanks so much for staying with us Leonard we'd love to have you again! We did advise you before the booking that we have both exterior and interior stairs to get into the unit, which is typical of most flats in San Francisco. Part of what makes this condo special is that even though it's on the first floor, it's elevated off the street for privacy and has nice City Views.

The flat is spacious. The location is excellent. The host was attentive. However, like many older San Francisco homes, it was musky and had a strong odor of mildew.

Hi Lynda, Thanks for your comments. This is the first time an issue with mildew smells has been brought up by guests, in fact most of my guests are repeat visitors and I've had 100% five star reviews since 2011. The condo is throughly cleaned after each guest, including all the bedding. I wish you would have addressed your concern with me when you arrived so we could have pin pointed the issue. I inspected the unit before new guests arrived and there is no smell of mildew. As you noted I'm a very responsive host and take pride in running one of the best furnished rentals in the area. Sincerely, Alan

Dolores Park Gem

We’ve stayed in numerous VRBO flats in Dolores Park. Nothing beats Alan’s flat. The location is perfect, a half block from the park, and next to the Muni. The place was immaculate, and alan was very responsive.

Nice place close to transit

Alan’s place was great to stay in for a month-long business trip. Clean and as listed, it was a short walk to The Muni J train which made it very easy to get around. Alan was always quick to respond to questions and easily reachable by phone. Kitchen is well-stocked and made cooking very easy. Would certainly stay here again.

We absolutely loved staying in this wonderful home. The location is superb. Would highly recommend.

Alan is such a fantastic host. We couldn’t have been happier here. It was the perfect location to explore and enjoy San Fran. We loved the outside area for barbecues. The apartment is very quiet and spacious. It was like home from home. We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough to anyone looking for a long or short stay in the city.

Dream Location and Amazing Host!

Alan has been so amazing from the first time I exchanged emails till the last day of check out. The house is so so beautifully furnished, and fully stocked with clean linen and towels. Absolutely enjoyed our stay! Its a true gem in heart of SF. Walking distance to Castro, Mission, and right next to Dolores Park. This place will go fast. Recommend booking soon!

This is a fantastic place!

The apartment is spacious, clean, hip, and well-equipped. The location is perfect -- walking distance to tons of restaurants, cafes, and a grocery store. It's around the corner from Dolores Park, a MUNI stop, and less than 2 blocks from a Zipcar. Alan is wonderful and super-fast to respond to any questions. We stayed here for a month and have zero complaints, it really felt like home.

SF Abode

My wife and I plus our grown son stayed in SF Abode over Thanksgiving week. It is a terrific apartment and very much like the pictures. Allan was very responsive to my pre-stay emails, so everything was clean and in good order when we arrived. The view out the front window of the SF skyline is very nice. Furnishings are quite good and the beds/linens are excellent. The location is very convenient to the Mission, Noe Valley and Dolores Park. This is a hilly part of SF, so be prepared to walk uphill or downhill out of the apartment and to go up stairs to get in. If I was to give one minor criticism, the kitchen isn't really stocked for someone who plans to do a lot of cooking (e.g., no steamer or good stir fry pan), but it has all the basics. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful rental in a great location

This is a wonderful Victorian in a great area between the Castro, Mission, and Noe Valley. The apartment has been completely modernized, and the furnishings are new. The apartment has everything you need for a short or extended stay. The apartment overlooks Mission Delores park, and has great views of San Francisco. It's just minutes from the best restaurants and bars in the Mission District. Alan the owner was very accommodating. We needed another tank of gas for the outdoor grill since we were entertaining family from the area, and he provided it the next day.

Amazing location!

We absolutely loved our stay in Alan's flat. He was more than accommodating with restaurant recommendations and allowing us to store our luggage after check out. The layout was great for us, as it was a couple and friend staying in SF. The bedrooms were on opposite sides of the flat with a bathroom for sharing. The flat was very clean and nicely decorated. It made for a very relaxing stay. Also, the location couldn't have been better!!
