The location is excellent. Short walk to Sign Hill, a great morning hike with even better views. Downtown restaurants are just on the other side of the block in front of the house. We walked to get breakfast and lunch several times. Super easy access to 101,280, and the Airport. Just down the road from El Camino Real. Supermarkets and shops are a very short drive away. The yard is very inviting. We had local friends over for a morning brunch and enjoyed it in the garden. Lots of seating options with great shade. This place is also very well stocked. We wanted for nothing. There was even a bottle of wine welcoming us for our stay. Thank you. ##### Raymond M.

The little bowl of snacks and bottle of wine were a nice touch, too, although we didn’t indulge. The gardens are lovely and the place is tucked in by the gardens. The week we stayed there was construction across the street during the weekdays so it was a bit loud at times. We came and went during the day so it didn’t bother us much. One the night there was a metal plate or something on the road that banged loudly every time a car drove over it. We couldn’t get the TV to work, seemed like the cable wasn’t hooked up. Only one night when we wanted to watch TV so not a big deal. The low flush toilet was a bit frustrating but it worked. Found two great places to eat close by for breakfast and Italian dinner. Very convenient and easy to drive to places in San Francisco. The parking spot was heaven as parking can be a challenge around town. ##### Sharon L.

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin S. 11 Oct 2017 #### Excellent location for San Francisco area At the end of a four week holiday in the USA we decided to spend three nights in the San Francisco area. Travelling as a couple this property was ideal for our requirements. Comfortable, clean and well-equipped the home makes an excellent base. It is close to SFO international airport and transport links into the city (we used Caltrain - within walking distance). The dedicated parking space adds to the convenience. South San Francisco itself provides a number of good shops and restaurants (again within walking distance) and felt safe in the daytime and evenings. With a well-equipped kitchen, garden area and parking this is a very cost-effective and convenient alternative to hotel accommodation. Will certainly look to return when next visiting San Francisco. ##### Kevin S.

Everything worked as expected. I really appreciated that there was already coffee, filters, and sugar available so I didn't need to run out and buy anything. The hosts were easy to get in touch with. The Apartment was bright and comfortable and quiet. The neighborhood is very walkable with great restaurants and the train station nearby. My only minor suggestion is that it would've been nice to have an empty chest of drawers to unpack my clothes into during my trip. ##### Ben M.

We got in at night so did not fully appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the property till the next day - Wow felt like we were home in Hawaii for sure. The unit was just perfect with the most comfortable bed and all the amenities of home right down to washer and dryer.This property is so clean and well maintained! Kawika has so much aloha and made us feel right at home. We stayed only 2 short nights but were able to walk around the neighborhood - we felt so safe and there were many shops, eateries, places of historical significance all just blocks from the property which was really fun to explore. We will be back for sure so we can stay longer. Mahalo for the hospitality and we cant wait to come back!!!!!! ##### Scott K.

We totally enjoyed our stay in this hale. It has everything one needs - kitchen, laundry and comfortable bed. Also coffee, spices and pot, pans and utensils needed to cook. Although no need to cook because there are numerous restaurants nearby - Buon Guito and Thai Satay are two restaurants we enjoyed. Kawika responded to our questions quickly - when we were chilly he sent over another heater. It is in a location that makes travel easy to the airport or San Francisco - take BART to The City, then the ferry to Sausalito. We totally enjoyed our stay and want to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the beautiful garden He ho’oponomaika’i is ka boho ma keia hale. (It is a blessing to stay in this house.)

Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Melissa B., Littleton, Massachusetts 10 Dec 2018 #### Small and absolutely NOT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE - Keep looking My family and I recently tried to stay at this house. I am in a wheelchair with the ability to walk a little with crutches. This house is absolutely not wheelchair-accessible (since there's a step up, which the owners warned us about) and honestly, not even mildly handicapped-accessible, due to the bathroom and the tiny and inaccessible nature of the apartment (which the owners did NOT warn us about). In the end, we needed to go somewhere else, which we did. In the last three weeks since we tried to stay here, I've tried to contact the owners of the house several times, to no avail. If I were you, I'd avoid this place. ##### Melissa B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rupal S. 10 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The five star reviews are not legit This was my first time booking a vacation through vrbo and i regret it. I am not sure how the property can be listed as an A with cleanliness when we found dirty towels, toilet paper missing on day 1 upon arrival, toilet broken down next morning and we couldnt flush it and hours later i get the message it is fixed. The lock wasnt working, my kids were out at 9.30 in th night where the code wasnt workng and the owner didnt even pick our phone or answered our text despite being there ( he answered the helper person but not a tired mom with tired kids in the night). Please dont trust the reviews- they are all made up. The lake has dirty green water, not even circlauting or being changed and the window seal has insects trapped in it. Please make fun memories elsewhere and dont make the mistake I did. ##### Rupal S.

Overall a really great experience and wonderful apt and hosts !!!! We were a little concerned about the location as we were going to see shows at Oracle Park and weren’t sure how far out of the “downtown” we were, but it turned out just right !!! We were able To take an Uber or the Cal Train very easily into downtown SF! The neighborhood is so cute and has lots of dining options within walking distance. A “bodega” , a great sandwich shop, liquor store, cafe for breakfast , options for dinner, really covers it all. If you want more elegant dining in the city it’s not too far at all. The apt is terrific. We had 2 adults for a few days and 3 for one night. We were all able to have our own bed ! One in the bedroom which has the picket doors for privacy, one on the sleeper sofa ( which is a bit short. So we put the sleep mat on top and it worked out perfectly ) the other had the air bed which was conveniently stored in the closet. ) We slept comfortably and then deflated the air bed and had plenty of room to eat at the dining table, make coffee, etc. It’s a very well appointed space with really everything you need. Coffee maker , French press, full size fridge, stover. Really awesome. The outside garden is lovely !!! You have full access to the whole space. Sit at the table, or on the love seat w your feet up, enjoy your coffee or cocktails. It was a really nice bonus to have outdoor space to enjoy. Very clean and the hosts were WONDERFUL ! ##### R L.

The bed was very comfortable. The owners are thoughtful and have made their apartment welcoming with everything one might need including filtered water. ##### Richard I.

Carpets, floors, and behind furniture could use a good cleaning. Great amenities in the kitchen, was helpful to be able to prepare meals on site. Excellent communication from owners! ##### Michelle B.
