Excellent stay

Out of all the vacation rentals we've stayed in, this one ranks very high... As a result, we had a super Spring Break staying at Rick's place.
The property is clean well maintained. Bathroom is spacious (very nice shower). Layout is terrific (bedrooms are in the back so they are quiet).
All the gaming/Satellite TV amenities/maps/books were nice to have. But we were so busy trying to visit all the interesting spots on our to-do-list that we don't even have time to watch TV.
Wine and coffee were extra from the owner and that was very cool.
The driveway was the perfect size for our Ford Escape and that turned out to be a big plus (otherwise the 2 hr parking restrictions during business hrs on local streets could create headaches for us).
This place is within 5 min walk to Clement St and the "new" Chinatown. Found multiple grocery stores and very good restaurants. One morning I ordered some Chinese style steamed buns/onion pancakes (between 7th and 8th Ave, on south side of Clement) and brought them "home" for our breakfast. Super delicious stuff.
San Francisco has so many things to offer to visitors and we only wish we had more time. Pleasant surprises were Land's End, Alcatrez Tour, Floating Homes in Sausalito, Rodeo Beach and Crispy Field. And of course a visit or two to those Crab Stands in Fisherman's wharf is a must. The only thing we didn't see is Bill Dan's rock balancing act along Bridgeway.
The only culprit about the property is the noise generated by the wall heater when it starts up and shuts down. It takes a while to get used to, especially during the night. But once your body is "adjusted", you are fine.
I'll definite recommend this place to my folks and friends. So they could enjoy this wonderful city a bit more.
Thanks Rick!
