Owner's Response: Hi Colin, thanks for the review! So glad you enjoyed our apartment as a "first landing place," during your transition from across the country to a new job in the SF Bay Area. Most of our guests stay for one month or more (like you did), but if you'd like to come back for a shorter stay, let us know, as we are sometimes able to accommodate. Good luck at the new job, and best wishes in the new year. Warmly, Rachel and Jeff

Rachel and Jeff have a beautiful place, a quiet and cozy nest to stay in one od the best neighborhoosds in San Francisco. Everything in the apartment is useful and full of joy! The place is packed with everything you need for a vacation: they even have razors in case you forgot yours! The kitchen is fully equipped, and very generous. Everything they offer on the web page is provided, and more! It is a nice touch to arrive so late at night and find flowers, fruits, cereal, bread, and more food in the refrigerator: your first breakfast is ready!
There is so much storage space, and the laundry works perfect.
We walked through the neighborhood to find groceries, cafés, restaurants, bike shops, pilates, you name it!
Rachel and Jeff are ALWAYS available to answer your requests (if there is any!).
My wife and I found that we now have the perfect place to stay in the perfect city.
Thank you very much Rachel and Jeff, for having created such a wonderful place, and for being such excelent hosts!

A great place for a real San Francisco experience!

I stayed for 6 weeks in this quiet, clean and excellently located studio. If you want to have the real San Francisco experience - meaning living like the locals - this is the right place.
The renting procedure was easy and fast, the owners responded always immediately to my questions. The owners are very correct and extremely helpful. When I arrived, Rachel provided me with lots of books, maps and DVDs of films made in San Francisco! What is really excellent is that you are provided with a free transit pass so that you can use all public transport means in San Francisco. The studio is located in Noe Valley, a beautiful neighborhood with beautiful houses, which might seem for a tourist a bit far in the south of the city. However, with public transport, one is easily in 15-20 minutes in the city center (the studio is in walking distance to the airport BART!).
As mentioned in the ad, the studio has wifi, a laptop and even a printer, which simplified my life enormously (I studied in San Francisco). One has direct access from the studio into a beautiful sunny garden. During my stay, the owners purchased a table and chairs so that I had my own, semi-private place in the garden.
Thank you very much, Rachel and Jeff, I really enjoyed staying at your place!

Everything was great and as described but...

The appartment is great and very well appointed. We were very happy with our choice and were impressed with the owner's attention to details.
After we left, we were waiting for the reimbursement of our security deposit. I contacted Rachel because I thought it would have been done right away. She didn't reply immediately because she was busy/away with family matters (which I completely understood once I knew). Because she had been so ''hands on'' since the beginning, I began to feel a little worried if I would get my money back (being thousands of miles away...). Anyway, it was all a misunderstanding and I finally got my security deposit back in a timely manner, but through all of this I was disappointed with Rachel's reaction to my worries. She was really offended that I even considered I could lose my money. She was very defensive in her emails and pushy... I finally just asked her to not write to me anymore (which she respected). I was hoping she would have been more considerate...
I waited a long time before writing this review because I don't want her to lose any renters... but in the end I felt it was important to share this experience. Again, the appartment is great, the location is good, Rachel was very helpful. Thank you.

Owner's Response: I am very pleased to see the wonderful 4-star review of our guest apartment from Kathy. In addition, I'm surprised to see that Kathy is still upset about a security deposit that I refunded IN FULL, only 7 days after her departure, nearly 8 months ago. As we say at SF Vacation Hut, "If it's important to you, it's important to us!" So ... I will respond.

First, I would like to clear up exactly what happened here. Upon receipt of Kathy's initial message regarding the status of her security deposit, I responded immediately, cordially reassuring her that I was away on vacation and would return her deposit as soon as I got back. Luckily, that very same day I spied a "common use" computer in Yosemite and was able to process her deposit refund right away (a few days EARLIER than promised).

Unfortunately, after my cordial message, Kathy began writing to me in a threatening tone. When I got back from vacation, I explained the situation and asked Kathy to apologize for her suspicious and threatening tone, especially given that I had already returned the deposit a few days prior. Not only did Kathy refuse to apologize, she asked that I never respond again, and I gladly obliged. :)

Sadly, upon reading Kathy’s review, I see that she never understood what was wrong. She wrote here (about me) "She was really offended that I even considered I could lose my money." This underscores how completely Kathy misunderstood. In fact, I was not offended AT ALL when Kathy asked about the status of her deposit. I only became offended when Kathy began using a suspicious and threatening tone, AFTER I had assured her, in writing, that indeed she would be getting a full refund.

Despite all of that, I do love that Kathy gave such a glowing review of the apartment, and my helpfulness and responsiveness throughout most of the process. Jeff and I enjoy creating a wonderful stay for our guests, from beginning to end, and we were sad to see the misunderstanding arise.

After the incident with Kathy, we added the following to our guest rules: "The funds remaining in your security deposit will be refunded after your check-out and final cleaning, as soon as your hosts may conveniently do so, and no more than 21 days after your departure, per California state law." The prior wording was "as soon as possible after departure," and I realize this can mean different things to different people. :) We hope this clears things up for all future guests!

This was the second time I've stayed at this apartment and I can honestly say the experience was even better than the first time which I didn't think was possible.

The apartment has every amenity you can think of including a washer/dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, a safe and even a laptop with WiFi Internet access, printer, and camera so you can Skype. There's a wide selection of movies including many filmed in San Francisco as well as lots of books, travel guides and maps.

The bed is incredibly comfortable and I always get the best sleep while I'm here.

The location is excellent if you want to be in a more residential area as opposed to a downtown location. Noe Valley is vibrant and hip with lots of independently owned-coffee shops, stores, markets, etc. I like it because as a woman traveling alone I feel extremely safe.

Rachel and Jeff are the owners and are hands down the factor that makes this such a wonderful rental. They go out of their way to make everything comfortable and inviting like having fresh-cut flowers inside when you arrive. Jeff even made a special trip to pick up a box I shipped out beforehand that contained some dietary items that I didn't want to haul on the plane. They are friendly and available to answer questions but aren't overly instrusive.

Did I mention the Clipper pass? They even provide a pre-paid card that allows you to ride the buses, light-rail, and cable cars at no expense to you.

Out back is a lovely garden with benches, chairs, lovely plants and flowers. It's like being in your own little secret garden. Very charming and comfortable.

My only reservation about writing such an honestly glowing review is that the apartment won't be available next time I come!

My husband and I have traveled all over the world and stayed in many rental apartments, condos, and houses. This is one of the best and I give it my highest recommendation.

Thanks Rachel and Jeff for another great stay!!
