The rooms were clean; the decor eclectic (a real delight) and homey! I was reminded of other places and earlier stages of my life. The hosts were accommodating and gave excellent directions to the sites of San FranciscoâŠwhich provided an enjoyable day of âbumbing aroundâ.
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
Hospitality personified Always feels like my second home
Spacious with so much entertainment even in the unit if that's what you like. Couldn't be more convenient in terms of shopping and transportation. Wonderful hosts
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.
We had a wonderful stay in our snug and colorful studio. It was well-equipped with everything we needed, the bed was comfortable and the hosts were responsive. Thank you!
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 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.
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 place to stay and very conveniently located to West Portal neighborhood and Muni station. Comfy bed, comfy couch, and the space heater kept it warm in chilly weather. Friendly hosts, communication was easy. Would stay again!
my 3rd stay! I returned again because it is such a perfect spot for my travels! It offers sweet little touches like a cozy quilt for cuddling up on the couch. very happy traveler!
What a wonderful stay! This spot is both cozy and spacious inside, with beautiful art and tile work. Very close to West Portal shops/restaurants and to public transit. Would definitely recommend.
The neighborhood is upscale with actual street parking. Public transportation is 2 blocks away. The property is absolutely lovely.The unit was well stocked, very comfortable, and homey. Eclectic decor and artwork. I wish i could live there. The hosts were superb!
my return visit was just as delightful and wonderful as my first! this one even included a cuddle-the-cat visit while chillin' on the sunny front patio. delightful spot, wonderful hosts. you too will enjoy, I'm confident!
I have stayed here several times, this time with my sister. We both enjoyed the decor, location, and the hosts were wonderfulâŠresponsive if we had questions.
Great stay
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!
loved this place! easy access to West Portola Muni, and great sauntering distance to both GGP's Botanical Garden (thanks to Lynda for suggesting it!) and to Ocean Beach. the colorful tilework by Lynda is an energizing delight! very happy with my choice to stay in this googly-eye friendly neighborhood!
We were visiting family in West Portal area and this was an ideal location. The space was clean and maintained. It was well equipped for a short stay and the host was very responsive. My only hesitation would be staying there in very cold weather. The space heater was fine for milder temps but I think it would have trouble keeping up if it was really cold.
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.
