San Francisco Success
My husband, 6 month old and I traveled to CA for the first time and stayed at Nick and Laurence's place. Upon arrival, Laurence greeted us in their small, clean apartment-like place. The mattress did hurt me and my husband's back. Everyday I really enjoyed Laurence and Nick's daily tips via emails about sights to see, food to eat and local attractions that we could check out.
The district we stayed in was a good location for local eateries and shops and easy access to public transportation. Like any big city there were bums in the area. Also, we were able to hear the city traffic at night. But overall was a good stay.
Well maintained residence close to everything important
First time visitors to San Francisco. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nick & Laurence made the reservation process smooth and professional. Laurence warmly welcomed us and provided lots of valuable information to ease our minds about getting around in this very busy city. They even have a nifty three-ring binder with more info that was fun to peruse.
The apartment was very clean and modern. Small but usable kitchen stocked with a Keurig coffee maker (and K-cups) plus condiments, etc. The bathroom has a tub/shower as well as extra toiletries if you forgot something. Perfect for a couple! Vacation, second honeymoon or even visiting family => the place is close to mass transit, shopping, Castro/Mission sights and more if you are willing to walk a bit.
N&L provided several emails as our stay progresses with more suggestions. Those hints were quite welcome and we used several to enhance our visit including visiting the farmer's market just a block away.
Although we didn't have to contact N&L while were staying in the apartment, Laurence made it clear that he was available to help us as needed.
We highly recommend renting from N&L. We will definitely contact them as a first resource when we next visit San Francisco.
Very clean, great place and good central location for many SF tourist activites
The property is well-maintained, clean and centrally located near public transportation. Bus stops, street cars and subways are either outside the door or a block or two away. We rented a Zip Car one day that was literally right around the corner. The unit we stayed in for 3 nights was clean and very quite in the evening. The bed was very comfortable too.
The owners were very hospitable and offered tips throughout our stay. Many of which we used; especially for nearby restaurants. There are plenty of good food establishments for reasonable prices nearby.The price for the unit was reasonable for San Francisco. My wife and I would stay here again on future visits. The only downside I can mention is this part of town is more for adults than a family with children. Evenings in "The Castro" can get a little gritty. But that is no fault of the owners and all of SF may be like this. We mainly went to the main tourist attractions during the day and didn't really visit the different little sub-cities within SF other than China Town. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and our visit to SF. Next trip we'll see things we missed in the city this trip and will also hit the wine country. N & L, thank you for helping make our trip a great success.
Nice, clean and great location.
We have enjoyed our stay at this property very much. The room was clean and Laurence went out of his way to accommodate all our needs.
Really nice SFO Experience
The room and house overall where very well taken care off and clean. The location is really close to transportation. The owners are super nice and gave us great insights on what to do, what not to do and where to get necessary items as well as great dinner selections. Overall we had a great experience in a very San Francisco style home with a great urban experience. Thank you Laurence!!
Excellent Location!
This basement apartment is located perfectly for anyone like my husband and me to explore San Francisco by public transit. It is not far from the intersection of Castro and Market Streets. The apartment is well equipped. Every available space has been thoughtfully utilized for comfort and tastefully decorated. The kitchenette has everything to prepare for breakfast/snack. We had hardboiled eggs, toasted bread, coffee, and/or yogurt with fresh fruits. Nick and Laurence were attentive and responsive to our needs in such way that we felt at home. The apartment was a perfect home base for us to enjoy exploring different neighborhoods of San Francisco!
Location
Located on a Magnolia tree lined residential street just north of San Francisco's famous Castro District. This quiet residential neighborhood is safe and walkable with nice restaurants and shops. And across Market Street is the historic Castro Street theater, restaurants, bars and shops. One block away is our weekly Farmer's Market (seasonal). Located within blocks of ALL San Francisco MUNI light rail lines and the historic F line which features historic street cars from around the world and is a fantastic way to travel to Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf and more. You won't need a car! See the map - look how many parks are located nearby. Hike? Play tennis? There are a number of tennis courts nearby - play tennis surrounded by redwoods and views of the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay. Or walk a few blocks down 16th Street to Mission Dolores which is where San Francisco was founded. VIsit the historic wooden church which still holds services in German. Dine outside and enjoy the California sun.
