Perfect Alternative to a Hotel in SF

My wife and I needed to be in San Francisco for a week. We usually stay in Union Square area but wanted this time a less touristy experience by renting in a neighborhood. We could not have done better than renting this charming studio apartment in Castro. Nick and Laurence were the perfect hosts, with immediate response to any question or need. The location was perfect with a short ( and fun) trlloy ride to downtown right nearby. Apartment was very clean and felt spacious ( for a studio). We loved staying here and will certainly do so again if in SF.

Perfect quiet and peaceful apartment. After working all day in the Financial District, it was so nice to come back to a nice relaxing quiet evening. Lawrence was great in greeting me and allowing me to check in a bit early. Great restaurants close by and a parking garage at a medical building nearby that worked out very well indeed!

Charm in The Castro

5 of 5
Submitted: March 14, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My husband, 13 year old daughter and I wanted to enjoy the nice neighborhood feeling of living in San Fransicso and this is exactly what we got during our three nights in this cozy basement studio apartment. The listing description and pictures were very accurate, the property was clean and there was enough space to set up the extra bed for my daughter. Best of all, the owners were very accomodating. For example, email inquiries were answered very quickly (making it so much easier to plan) and the process of obtaining a parking permit was taken care of prior to our arrival. Furthermore we received thoughtful suggestions for local activities and restaurants via email, the owners wanted us to know they were avaialble but also wanted us to have space to enjoy a peaceful vacation. We are already looking forward to our next visit and would definately stay there again!

I arrived at Nick and Laurence's studio on Christmas day and thoroughly enjoyed my three-day stay with my dog. It was exceptionally clean, well equipped and quiet. The location, on Castro near Market, is fantastic, no matter what you want to do or where you want to go in San Francisco. And every question or request I had was promptly fulfilled by Laurence. I felt safe and slept well every night. Next time, I hope to stay longer.
