Charming View Flat in the Castro

I was ecstatic to find this lovely, charming, well-kept flat in the Castro area for our three-day escape to San Francisco. When I saw the place, I was grateful that I chose this instead of booking a cramped and unexciting hotel room. The flat was spacious, nicely furnished, and well-maintained. There was ample room for the 3 of us. Our friend was comfortable sleeping on the sleeper sofa while we slept comfortably in the bedroom.We were able to fix our quick breakfast before we went out on our hectic daily trips. The area was safe (we always came back late) and full of life, and there were numerous restaurants and bars to choose from. The owner made sure we had everything we required. There were even brochures and a guest book that guided us on the use of the apartment and how to navigate around the area. Thanks Mr Romanus for making our visit exciting, comfortable, and memorable. We have already spread the word among our friends about your beautiful flat in the Castro.

I don't know where to begin! What a fantastic vacation oasis. The flat is even better than described! I travelled with my wife and grown daughter and there was more than enough room and privacy galore. The views were unbelievable. The decor is and amenities a fabulous and we were very comfortable in this cozy getaway. The proximity to Castro Street with the great shopping and gourmet shops were so convenient and being so close to Muni makes the whole city so close by. Romanus was great and so accommodating. We've stayed at the Ritz and other luxe hotels but this flat was by far the most delightful, restful and enjoyable place we've stayed.

We walked to Haight Street and Golden Gate Park, were a quick Muni ride from Union Square shopping, and never far from the best restaurants.

The flat was spotless, well appointed, plenty of towels, linens, etc. well furnished, and the DVD, satellite tv and wifi made our home base time wonderful. For groceries, Mollie Stone, Romanus's recommendation, carried everything we needed with. Terrific selection of organic and gourmet food, wine and spirits.

This flat is definitely our first choice when we travel to San Francisco and I have already highly recommended it to my friends.

As corny as it sounds, we truly felt "at home". Thank you Romanus for the terrific experience!

We are first timers in San Francisco and have had the most delightful stay at this flat in the Castro. The location is truly fabulous, views stunning with hills of the area and the ocean in the background. The appartment has everything you need and a haven from the noise and bustle of the city. The flat is clean and well laid out with comfortable furninshings. It feels very private and the yard /garden area is an added bonus. Although some walking up hills is required if you are using public transport it is worth the effort and no more than anywhere else in town. There is a good short cut up and down to the Castro where you can take the cable cars downtown as well as having the muni (underground) to go anywhere. There is a fabulous park a few roads up behind the flat, the "Buena Vista"..which has views all over the city and cool trees. We hired a car for the week although it was not really necessary for staying here but the good thing is that parking is permissible without charge right outside the flat. Just don't get caught if you are not familiar with parking in the US (as we did) not to park in front of a water hydrant and on a hill without turning the wheels into a curb. All amenities are close by; we particualrly liked the corner shop to get basics and the restaurants in the Haight were particualrly good. The Castro has a brilliant vibe and we were lucky to see it over halloween! We enjoyed it so much that next time we visit we will try and book again.
