We stayed a week in the apartment in May. The description on the website is accurate. It deserves the superlatives from the previous reviews. The apartment has all you need (plus extras; we appreciated the good design, the laundry, the W-LAN and the flat-screen TV). The apartment is newly decorated and well-maintained. The location is also perfect, in the middle of it all. Don't worry about the proximity to the cable cars, the glazing is good and they don't run in the middle of the night anyhow. Look out the window and enjoy them. We attended a conference for parts of our stay, and our colleagues were really envious...this is better than a hotel room ( the 30 bus or the cable cars take you to less than five minutes walk from the Moscone Centre, so it is really convenient if you are attending a conference there). The hosts (Nick and Melissa) were very nice and attentive through the whole renting process. Melissa's note on shopping for groceries in the area came in very handy, the hills are steep and you loose your orientation quickly if you don't know where you are heading so remember to print it out. The suggestions for restaurants were also good. For families (with kids with tired feet who just want to rest in the sofa after a long day of sightseeing) a suggestion for some good take-away places would be a nice addition! We will recommend this place to our friends.

We came to San Francisco for a wedding taking place at the South End Rowing Club, near the Fisherman's Wharf. With the bride and groom living near Union Square, we could not have asked for a better location! A short walk to about everywhere in town.

The apartment was very well maintained and had a number of nice modern touches--props for the option to use the water use reducing shower head.

Melissa and Nick were also very communicative in advance of our trip. We booked on short notice and they were helpful in advising us how to get to the property and provided a number of suggestions for activities to do while we were in town; they have an array of guidebooks and maps to get around.

I can't wait to get back to SF and to stay here again!

My family and I stayed at this apartment the last week of July 2011. Apprehensive as first time users of Homeaway rentals but really pleased with the property and the owners. Melissa and Nick are really friendly and eager to please and will help with any questions you may have. Nick offered to help us park the SUV in the garage but as we are both drivers we felt we were able to manage but it was very kind of him to offer the help. We hired a Chevrolet Jeep and that fitted in the garage. The apartment had everything you could ask for and had use of washing machine and drier, all detergents are supplied for your use. The apartment is in a great location with the tram stopping literally outside the door. The trams get very full and won't stop if there is no room and they do get full! The listing was very accurate and the property was very well looked after. We managed a trip to Yosemite whilst there, it was a fair drive but well worth it if you have the time. If you wish to visit Alcatraz book before you travel, we spoke to another family who were unable to get a trip. We had a fantastic time and would definitely use this property again. Thank you Melissa and Nick!
