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.

Cozy, Well Appointed Home Away from Home
Stayed a little over a week--owners were kind, attentive and conscientious about communicating about parking restrictions on the street. I got no tickets. The place was cozy, well appointed with a kitchen that accommodated my needs. Beautiful tile work in the bathroom, whimsical and artistic touches throughout the unit. A great place to retreat from the city & reconnoitre.

Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here! I loved the cozy feel of the place and all the art around the home. We were greeted by two little kittys when we first arrived, which was really cute! Selim greeted us and was gave us advise on how to get around. We liked how close the Muni bus was, since we wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a fun place at the end of a busy day to come to and relax. I would definitely come back in the future :)

Warm and comfortable place to stay
We really really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood had plenty to offer in terms of food and groceries, and all you need to do is walk a few blocks to get to the Muni station. A short drive takes you to Ocean Beach or Golden Gate Park. The apartment is warm and inviting—with plenty of great reading options if you need them. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and eager to make sure we had what we needed. Thanks for having us!

Great location in West Portal
We found the rental to be in a great location as we were able to walk down to West Portal Ave every day for some shopping and great restaurants.
Communication with our hosts was very easy. Selim and Lynda are lovely people and were very attentive to our needs.
We found the entrance to our unit to be very challenging since to reach our entrance we had to go down very steep narrow steps. The apartment is as described in the listing and we felt very safe in that neighborhood. If you have a car there is usually street parking available.
