Family visit
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.

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 Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here! I loved the cozy feel of the place and all the art around the home. We were greeted by two little kittys when we first arrived, which was really cute! Selim greeted us and was gave us advise on how to get around. We liked how close the Muni bus was, since we wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a fun place at the end of a busy day to come to and relax. I would definitely come back in the future :)

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!

Great location in West Portal
We found the rental to be in a great location as we were able to walk down to West Portal Ave every day for some shopping and great restaurants. Communication with our hosts was very easy. Selim and Lynda are lovely people and were very attentive to our needs. We found the entrance to our unit to be very challenging since to reach our entrance we had to go down very steep narrow steps. The apartment is as described in the listing and we felt very safe in that neighborhood. If you have a car there is usually street parking available.

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.

Always reliable and convenient!
The hosts are so hospitable and available and the location is so stellar and convenient and lovely. It works so well for me because it's near my family's home but I recommend this space highly. It feels like your own house. There's so much space and the hosts have supplied the space with so much to entertain you and inform. It's such an wonderfully interesting place, as well, with so much color and interesting collectibles and artwork.

Unique cozy 1 bedroom close to MUNI
I stayed here for a month while I was between apartments and while it's small and not my typical taste in decor, by the end of my visit, I loved it and was sad to leave. It has such a unique vibe and even though it's small, it's nice that it has a separate bedroom and even stairs up to the kitchen and bathroom so it feels larger than it is and I miss having separate spaces like that now that I'm in a big open plan studio apartment. Also the couch was super comfy and it even has a real desk and desk chair that I used for working from home (good Wifi speed too!). The host was very responsive to any issues I had and was kind enough to let me park in the driveway and use the laundry twice during my stay, both of which are conveniences that are hard to find in SF, so I found that a huge benefit to this place! Also, the proximity to the West Portal MUNI station and all the great shops and restaurants can't be beat (5 min walk). There's a Safeway about a 7 min drive away but it's walking distance to the West Portal Produce Market which has a wide selection of fruits and vegetables as well as canned goods and even eggs and some yogurts and milk. There are also many lovely neighborhoods to stroll through nearby and you can even walk up to Mount Davidson! (but I recommend doing that on one of the few non-foggy days so that you can see the gorgeous view. West Portal is a much foggier neighborhood, by the way, than the East half of SF) I would say the only slight negatives are that, as others have mentioned the bed is very small and also a bit old and saggy, so while it was fine for me by myself, not sure it would be comfortable for two people. Also, there is very limited counter or cabinet space in the kitchen so it was difficult to cook anything other than meals with only a few ingredients. The thing that I think could be the biggest issue for some is that the gate and pathway down on the side of the main house to get to the rental unit is extremely narrow and with intermittent and uneven steps. I'm a skinny 5' 3" woman and it was no wider than my shoulders. While I managed, it did make loading luggage in and out or even carrying bags of groceries a bit tricky since you had to carry stuff in front or back of you or walk sideways but then it was hard to see where the stairs were. In any case, for people with mobility issues or even with large luggage, you might want to try some place else. For everyone else, it's not ideal but definitely manageable.

Loved it!
This rental was such a treat! So many things to look at and entertain yourself with inside, you would never have to leave. Did not rent a car and were so close to the Muni going in all directions that we could go anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. Had never explored West Portal before and now I’m happy I’ve had the chance. Will definitely stay here again. Hosts were amazing and so helpful. Quick to respond to questions. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.
