San Francisco Vacation Rental apartment

The location of this property is really great. It's only a couple blocks from the L train station, which goes directly to Market Street or the Embarcadero, if you're going to sight-see. Cab fare from the ferry building was about $35 without tip, but taking the L train would have been $1.50 per person over the age of 5. It's on the other side of SF from those things, but the opportunity to take public transportation and see the locals was fun. The beach is a quick walk across a couple of roads, and has extremely fine, soft sand, and lots of sand dollars for collecting. We saw some really amazing sunsets from our window at dinnertime, so all our busy sight-seeing days were capped off with a beautiful scene!

The apartment itself is a short flight of stairs up from the ground level. It was extremely clean and had everything we could possibly need. We had just come from another rental in Southern California which was lacking a lot of useful things. There was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, and disposing of trash was easy (not the case in the other rental). There were plentiful fluffy white towels. I really appreciated the quality of the kitchen wares -- no peeling teflon for once (the case at almost every other place I've stayed). The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds both very, very comfortable.

My husband and I had a great time watching Netflix Instant View movies on the Roku device with the large LCD television after the kids went to bed -- a comfort we usually have at home, but even more enjoyable on vacation.

My kids wholeheartedly enjoyed the various board games!!

The neighbors were very friendly (actually, the whole city was full of friendly people wanting to strike up a conversation).

The closest proper grocery stores are Safeway (east of 19th avenue) an organic store (on 40-somethingth and the N-line), and Trader Joe's (Stonestown Galleria). We made a nice treck to Trader Joe's and Borders on the day we took off from sightseeing.

If you don't have a high-tech cell phone with internet access, I'd very highly recommend getting a laminated map of San Francisco, and bring a laptop to help plan out your day ahead of time.

We had such an awesome trip to San Francisco -- I felt so relaxed when I reached home, despite staying there for 7 days with a 4 and an 8 year old! Thank you, Jacob!

We loved our San Francisco vacation and are happy we chose to stay in the Sunset House. The ocean (right across the street) was the highlight of our trip. We spent time everyday on the beach - walking, jogging, collecting, flying kites, just hanging out together. After full days of sight seeing, we'd come back to our home away from home and relax. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, clean, with lots of natural light and just right for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well. There was a nice selection of games and movies in addition to internet access. Jacob was very courteous, helpful and easy to work with.

We stayed at this property for a girls getaway weekend and loved it! Beautiful location right across from the beach, plenty of parking and close to public transportation. The SF Zoo is a few blocks away and the Golden Gate Park is a 5 minute drive. The two bedroom unit was sparkling clean, with comfortable beds and bedding, plenty of towels and a fully equipped kitchen. The owner had asked if we would like any particular movies and had them for us when we arrived. Jacob was very communicative and always promptly answered emails and phone calls. It is a nice quiet residential neighborhood. We will probably return for another stay!
