The apartment was absolutely lovely and was a great location to walk into North Beach, and various adjacent neighborhood areas, i.e. the waterfront, Coit tower, etc.The apartment is fully loaded with luxury amenities - great beds and linens, bath towels, etc. The kitchen is deluxe, loaded with any appliance one could possibly require. My family loved this apartment and we hope to return.

The PERFECT Place in the Most PERFECT Location

My husband and I love weekend escapes to the city and we chose to rent this beautiful house in North Beach from Jennifer. 1st, Jennifer was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. The house was decorated perfectly and the house had everything we needed for a perfect stay. It felt like home away from home. With that being said, the location was SUPER amazing. We never used a taxi or a car. We were able to walk EVERYWHERE. We woke up early and were first in line at the popular MaMa's for breakfast. We walked to Fisherman's peer in five minutes, to the popular Ferry Building and to Crissy Field. The views from this street are amazing. We saw a cruise line come in, a sneak peak of the Golden Gate bridge, Lombard Street, etc. At night we walked out the door and into a neighborhood party. We ate dinner at a great place called Park Tavern, went for drinks at a local bar, and then popped into a place that had live music. This was all within two blocks of this home. We had such a wonderful time. I will ALWAYS seek out this home to stay. It was PERFECT. Thank you Jennifer.

A wonderful condo in North Beach with lots of cool design elements thought out. An Excellent location for walking everywhere and also close to many popular restaurants and bars. The views from both the balcony and roof deck were as described. A perfect perch to enjoy the beautiful water views and the Golden Gate too! Top notch kitchen, both beds and linens were very comfortable. Great trip. Glad we chose this place. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic location !!!

We cannot say enough about our stay at Lola's apartment. It was very clean and comfortable...not to mention location, location, location!!! A short walk to Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, etc.... we did it all with ease. Lola was simply great with outstanding communication before and throughout our stay (as needed). Highly recommend if you are visiting SF. We will certainly be back again soon!

Great location, great space!

Our recent visit to San Francisco was immensely enhanced by staying at this location. It's a beautiful, well appointed, clean, comfortable apartment. The space is within walking distance of many great neighborhoods and North Beach itself is a great place to hang out.

Would definitely stay here again. Great location and our host was very attentive to our needs. For North Beach, you just can’t beat the location. Even our Uber driver who dropped us off commented on the location.

This was like a home away from home.

Very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We loved the location and found the apartment to be very quiet at night. Having a full apartment with a complete kitchen, good sized bathroom and comfortable living room made it a nice place to stay after a day of touring the city. Lola was nice and helpful, but did not bother us unless we needed her help.

Perfect location!

My wife and I have stayed in San Francisco many times, but never in a place that was so conducive to walking the city. On this trip we got to know the area better than we ever have because we were able walk everywhere! And the house itself was great too!! We would love to stay here again . . . and hope to be back soon.

Great apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is wonderful near Washington Square and we walked almost everywhere: Chinatown, the waterfront, and even downtown. It was spotlessly clean and well furnished with plenty of space for the two of us with a full living room, kitchen and a very comfortable bed. Our hostess Lola was friendly and responsive.

The house was perfect and the location was awesome. Easy access to Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown.

The property was wonderful. It is a very cozy, comfortable house with everything you may need. Lola is awesome. She is so friendly and very helpful for whatever you may need. I don't know if this was Lola's intent but the bed has several pillows that offer different degrees of firmness. I loved that! The bed also was so comfortable offering a great night's sleep. The location was ideal. It was an easy walk to Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown and Lombard Street. There are several parks all around the neighborhood also. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in San Francisco!

The property is clean and extremely well-located

We loved our stay. The property is centrally located so that we could take advantage of many of SF’s numerous activities. The variety of restaurants in walkIng distance was incredible. The owner went out of her way to provide both the basics and assorted extras to provide a pleasant stay. We highly recommend this property.
