Great

Great colorful space and inspiring mix handmade and collected items. Was super easy to get around San Francisco from without a car, being within a 5-15min walk of 6 bus and train routes. Sufficient kitchen facilities with a local grocer and Safeway nearby. Selim was also accommodating to an earlier check-in

Great location, the host is very nice and communicates well from pre-stay to check out. Location is very close to the Muni at West Portal and restaurants and stores.

Wonderful stay in San Francisco

Very well located, this apartment, ideal for 2 adults without mobility constraints, has a welcoming atmosphere. Barely 2-3 minutes walk from the Muni network, we stayed there and explored the city and its surroundings without a car, except for airport trips (Uber). The hosts are discreet but available for information and other accomodations.

Great place to stay when working in the city.

This is a great home setting when staying in the city for work. I had most of what I needed to stay and work. Only thing that would have been helpful is an ironing board and more convenient outlets. Would stay again especially if more than a couple days.

Easy drive to UCSF

I was staying here because I needed to be at the UCSF hospital with my husband who has an aggressive cancer. These were very hard times for me, I left the apartment early and came home late. Under different circumstances I may have enjoyed the apartment more. The one thing I would have improved on was the ability to cook. There is a hot plate but I had trouble with the smoke alarm going off, even using the toaster, so my late dinners consisted of reheating in the microwave.

Wonderful Home

My daughter and I stayed for five nights at Selim and Lynda's wonderful apartment in the woods. It was a great refuge, quiet and secluded, yet surprisingly just minutes to any destination in the city. The careful and loving attention to detail that Lynda poured into every corner of the home was so appreciated. The family was welcoming and attentive to our needs. Parking was easy. I highly recommend!

Warm and comfortable place to stay

We really really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood had plenty to offer in terms of food and groceries, and all you need to do is walk a few blocks to get to the Muni station. A short drive takes you to Ocean Beach or Golden Gate Park. The apartment is warm and inviting—with plenty of great reading options if you need them. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and eager to make sure we had what we needed. Thanks for having us!
