This was a very nice place, close to our family and the West Portal area. Loved the colorful tiles especially in the bath. The walkway to the apt was a bit narrow and slanted, maybe a consideration for older guests. We are kitty lovers and visited with the resident cat on the front porch when we awaited our Uber. Five stars for us!

5 night stay

Wonderful location with easy walking distance to numerous high end food and beverage locations. The unit has a separate entrance within the home but is very private and quiet. A bit cluttered for our taste but other may find it eclectic and interesting. Owner very responsive and was willing to research parking questions as the neighborhood has typical San Francisco restrictions on hours and days.

Wonderful Home

My daughter and I stayed for five nights at Selim and Lynda's wonderful apartment in the woods. It was a great refuge, quiet and secluded, yet surprisingly just minutes to any destination in the city. The careful and loving attention to detail that Lynda poured into every corner of the home was so appreciated. The family was welcoming and attentive to our needs. Parking was easy. I highly recommend!

Family visit

We were visiting family in West Portal area and this was an ideal location. The space was clean and maintained. It was well equipped for a short stay and the host was very responsive. My only hesitation would be staying there in very cold weather. The space heater was fine for milder temps but I think it would have trouble keeping up if it was really cold.

Electic little lower apartment

All the reviews I read were spot on. Decorated with an artist and world travelers eye. Makes this a unique, welcoming vibe with lots to read. Situated in a quiet neighborhood a block from the Muni to be downtown in 15 minutes. Lots of neighborhood restaurants and shops right there too so you can stay local. Only caution I would give is the entry walk way down to the front door is very tight. I'm 6'6" and had to squeeze and scrape my way through even with out luggage. Also the steps are prone to be slippery so be aware.Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay immensely and would do it again.
