Fantastic cozy place

Very nice place. Location is great with bus or light rail only few minutes walk. Local shops also only a few minutes walk as well. Host so pleasant and welcoming. A true home away from home feeling.

Great quick stay!

Lynda and Selim were incredibly accommodating! The apartment was cute & more than enough space for just me. You also cannot beat the location- 3 minute walk down to the muni station will get you downtown in no time. Great stay overall!

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. The neighborhood is cozy and the people very friendly. The property is cozy and has all the amenities you would need. I would stay here again.

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!

My Fiance and I stayed at this beautiful home 3 nights. Honestly, we didnt want to leave. It was amazing! The only problem we ran into was that there was no oven/stove in the kitchen. Other than that, it was perfect!

Cozy, Well Appointed Home Away from Home

Stayed a little over a week--owners were kind, attentive and conscientious about communicating about parking restrictions on the street. I got no tickets. The place was cozy, well appointed with a kitchen that accommodated my needs. Beautiful tile work in the bathroom, whimsical and artistic touches throughout the unit. A great place to retreat from the city & reconnoitre.

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

Electic little lower apartment

All the reviews I read were spot on. Decorated with an artist and world travelers eye. Makes this a unique, welcoming vibe with lots to read. Situated in a quiet neighborhood a block from the Muni to be downtown in 15 minutes. Lots of neighborhood restaurants and shops right there too so you can stay local. Only caution I would give is the entry walk way down to the front door is very tight. I'm 6'6" and had to squeeze and scrape my way through even with out luggage. Also the steps are prone to be slippery so be aware.Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay immensely and would do it again.

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.

5 night stay

Wonderful location with easy walking distance to numerous high end food and beverage locations. The unit has a separate entrance within the home but is very private and quiet. A bit cluttered for our taste but other may find it eclectic and interesting. Owner very responsive and was willing to research parking questions as the neighborhood has typical San Francisco restrictions on hours and days.
