My siblings and families all wanted adjoining hotel rooms or a suite in SF. After very little research, it quickly became apparent that that idea would be a costly one. So, I checked VRBO and found this Boutikia property in a great area for much less than what we would have paid renting a few pricy hotel rooms. So we booked it. The booking went smoothly and the folks at Boutikia were always available to answer questions. Prior to our arrival, we got all the instructions we needed to find our way and get into our home for the week. And was it nice! The furnishings were stylish, the kitchen well stocked and the area was ideal - a few short steps to the corner and a look to the right revealed the beautiful Coit Tower (careful with the Freudian slips). There were 7 of us and there was plenty of room. I did need to call and ask for a roll-away bed, but the delivered it right away. With brand new bedding. We were worried about having only one bathroom, but it never seemed to be a problem with a little planning for showers. IT was great to have in-house washer/dryer to do a load of laundry midway through our stay. There are so many restaurants nearby - Italian and Chinese mostly (Chinatown just a couple blocks away). Fisherman's Wharf is a 10 minute walk downhill (9 blocks). Public Transportation is nearby. It's just a great area. If I ever have the occasion to stay in SF with a group again, I will definitely stay here. And with Boutikia's service and courtesy, I'd bet all their properties are just as nice.
