Fantastic host, property and location!!!!

What a great pad, in such a cool area of San Fran! Tremendous restaurants within walking distance or a short Uber ride. Lola, the host, was quick to respond to my inquiries. I will be back!

Fantastic location !!!

We cannot say enough about our stay at Lola's apartment. It was very clean and comfortable...not to mention location, location, location!!! A short walk to Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, etc.... we did it all with ease. Lola was simply great with outstanding communication before and throughout our stay (as needed). Highly recommend if you are visiting SF. We will certainly be back again soon!

Great location, great space!

Our recent visit to San Francisco was immensely enhanced by staying at this location. It's a beautiful, well appointed, clean, comfortable apartment. The space is within walking distance of many great neighborhoods and North Beach itself is a great place to hang out.

This was like a home away from home.

Very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We loved the location and found the apartment to be very quiet at night. Having a full apartment with a complete kitchen, good sized bathroom and comfortable living room made it a nice place to stay after a day of touring the city. Lola was nice and helpful, but did not bother us unless we needed her help.

Perfect location!

My wife and I have stayed in San Francisco many times, but never in a place that was so conducive to walking the city. On this trip we got to know the area better than we ever have because we were able walk everywhere! And the house itself was great too!! We would love to stay here again . . . and hope to be back soon.

Great apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is wonderful near Washington Square and we walked almost everywhere: Chinatown, the waterfront, and even downtown. It was spotlessly clean and well furnished with plenty of space for the two of us with a full living room, kitchen and a very comfortable bed. Our hostess Lola was friendly and responsive.

The house was perfect and the location was awesome. Easy access to Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown.

The property was wonderful. It is a very cozy, comfortable house with everything you may need. Lola is awesome. She is so friendly and very helpful for whatever you may need. I don't know if this was Lola's intent but the bed has several pillows that offer different degrees of firmness. I loved that! The bed also was so comfortable offering a great night's sleep. The location was ideal. It was an easy walk to Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown and Lombard Street. There are several parks all around the neighborhood also. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in San Francisco!

We loved our stay. The property is centrally located so that we could take advantage of many of SF’s numerous activities. The variety of restaurants in walkIng distance was incredible. The owner went out of her way to provide both the basics and assorted extras to provide a pleasant stay. We highly recommend this property.

Fantastic location and great host

Love north beach and to be 2 minutes from mama's and tonys pizza is heaven. Lola is a great host, made it easy for me to check in as my flight was 4 hours late. The place is extremely cozy with many nice touches like the lighting some snack and tea and coffee, a cozy bed and living room. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Location location Location! Lola is also a fun person and her personality shows throughout. It is so nice to have a kitchen and living area as well as bedroom. This is a very comfortable environment! You are directly above the garage and below the owners upstairs and it can be noisy but we really didn't mind but is something to be aware of and only reason for a 4.

Beautiful apartment, good location

We enjoyed the apartment although we didn't spend a lot of time there since we were for business in the city. The location was good and quiet, also the bed was comfortable. It was easy to communicate with Lola and she was very flexible with our changed schedule.

Third Time And Still A Charm

This is the third time we've stayed at this comfortable flat, and our stay was as good as the two before. This is a comfortable and spacious flat, Lola is most accommodating and helpful, and the location--ah yes, the location--made for a wonderful 3 days. It's also quiet, especially at night, which is a bit of a surprise since it is so centrally located. We were supposed to arrive on a Thursday, but Virgin America canceled our flight to SF because of smoke from the terrible North Bay fires, but Lola made room for us to arrive a day later and stay a day longer. Stay here, you'll like it fine.

Lovely property, best location in San Fran!

This was a lovely property and truly in the best location! My husband and I loved being able to walk to everything. The perfect breakfast spot (Mama's) is 3 minute walk so you can get there early and avoid an hour or 2 long wait. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had the best water pressure. We will be back!

Beautiful apartment. Perfect location.

We loved our stay at Lola's place. Everything with just right. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped (but we ate out most meals in the awesome neghiborhood) and the living area was very comfortable. The entire unit was nice and clean. Lola was a great host and recommended a terrific restaurant after we arrived quite late. We highly recommend Mama's for breakfast. It was so good we went twice. It's just down the street. We also enjoyed Tacolicious for dinner. We ate after doing yoga next door and happened upon Taco Tuesday. Six tacos for $15. A rare deal in San Francisco. We would definitely stay here again.
