What an amazing place!

Review Submitted: October 10, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My sister and I rented this place for just over a week and we loved it! The flat is adorable, beautifully styled, comfortable, quiet, clean and very safe. Everything has been thought of to make the flat a true home away from home. I really do mean everything here: little packets containing toothbrushes and toothpaste, a plentiful supply of fresh towels, a fully equiped kitchen and even dental floss! We didn't want to leave! Simone is a very helpful host and was quick to respond to any queries that we had. The Mission is a great place to be based with all of the local supermarkets and restaurants and easy access to downtown San Fran via the BART or local buses. The area is so packed with restaurants and little shops that you almost don't need to leave it. The pie shop on the corner is a definite must visit as is the Liberty Cafe in Bernal Heights. We will definitely be coming back to stay here!

We rented this apt for a week my boyfriend and I. Everything as promised was there and more. We couldnt have even wished for better. Close to everything and anything you might need. The apt is exactly as the pictures: clean, cute, romantic, just perfect.
Everyday we woke up we were so happy to have found that apt for our stay in San Francisco, and if we do get to come back we would definatly stay there again.
10 out of 10!

Home away from home

Alan & Partner Reading, UK
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Everything promised and a lot more. Whilst we didn't get to meet Simone personally, everything was well organised and hassle free.

Great location, in the middle of a vibrant area with lots of great places to eat, places to mooch around and grocery stores to get stuff to cook at home. BART was just a few blocks walk away in a safe feeling neighbourhood and then only a few mins into downtown or an easy bus ride.

Charmingly decorated, great facilities (internet, computer, surround sound tv/cable/dvd) plenty of space to sprawl and just relax. Homely, tasteful but avoiding being clinical or cold. Somewhere you feel you can just relax. Wonderful kitchen full of not just essentials but little things that make it a pleasure to cook there, utensils, spices, little extras. No compromises there, if you want to enjoy some of the fine fresh food SF has to offer, you can cook it here.

A great retreat away from the hustle of the tourist traps.

Perfect!

Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Excellent location in Mission District and only 5 minute bart drive to downtown of SF. Relaxed atmosphere and very nicely decorated apartment with all needed home appliances. Bonus rooftop sauna and shower for late-nights. Simone and Kurt were really friendly and helpful for all you needed to know. Excellent communication before and after the stay. Highly recommended and would definitely stay there again.
Thank you!

Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
loved this apt- the garden, full kitchen, jacuzzi tub, internet, dining table, work area, closet space, soaps, towels, toiletries..... can't say enough about it.

much better than staying in a hotel and being in the mission area was the icing on the cake. never really had to leave the area- the restaurants, the cafes, the book stores, the taco stands, the shopping... doesnt get much better

All you will need including a great atmosphere

Review Submitted: May 9, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This is indeed a very charming place. The appartment has all the practical things you will need (eg. computer, internet, hairdryer, washing machine & dryer ect.). It even has a lot of things that you didn´t know you would need (eg. sauna on the roof!). But most importently: it has a great personal decoration with many interesting details - both inside and outside in the cosiest little garden. Finally Simone is a great and welcoming host, and lives nearby if anything occures.

THE BEST OF THE BEST

Tess & Dave Melbourne, Australia
Review Submitted: April 10, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Firstly the warm welcome we received from Simone was like a close friend or family member. What a kind generous person who was there to help us in anyway shape or form.
We have stayed in a few of these holiday rentals and this is by far the best place I have stayed at. There is everything you will ever need in this apartment and even MORE. It absolutely exceeded our expectations and we wish we had stayed for 3 weeks instead of 1.
The Mission District is such a great place location wise, it is close to buses, the BART (train) and many cafes and restaurants. I would not look any further, just BOOK IT!
Thank you, Thank you. We really hope to be back some day very soon. I would not stay anywhere else in San Francisco. One last thing Simone has styled this apartment beautifully and created a homely atmosphere, it is like a Home Away from Home. We LOVED it.
