Thank you very much Boutikia for an amazing location...we were in town for a family function and were 3 blocks from our family. The location is also very convenient to the downtown area. We rented a large vehicle for our group and parking was a bit difficult...that's just city life though. I do recommend the public transportation, it was easy and not expensive at all. We took a taxi from Ghiradelli square and were charged $25..this I thought was ridiculous. I know the city well, and this cab driver was literally going in circles, beware, it is their profession and they will take advantage. The flat was comfortable and spacious enough for our entire family. We were able to be as social as we wanted or were able to retreat to our own bedrooms for some privacy without being on top of each other. The only minor complaint I have was that the front bedroom had a very squeaky, creeky bed...this may need a little adjusting if you are a light sleeper as I am, it did keep me awake. Other than that, the flat was very well suited to our needs. We traveled with our elderly parents and they were extremely pleased and said they would use this property again for their next visit. The staff at Boutikia were professional, polite and very efficient. We had a few lights that didn't work in the hall way and the agent sent over someone immediately. It took a little while to get them working but he was determined to find out the problem...turns out the bulbs were fine, it was the GFI switch in the bathroom that needed to be reset... who knew?? We had a good laugh and thanked him for his efforts. We will definitely use your services afain for our next visit and thank you for the easy, no hassle way of doing business. The Dallas group

We absolutely fell in love with this house! I can tell you that this is the place to stay if you are looking for an authentic San Francisco experience. The neighborhood is wonderful. stereomood team stayed for 2 months and we would have loved to have stayed more! The apartment was very spacious and the kitchen was well equipped. It had everything we needed to feel comfortable and felt very private.

We had a wonderful 4 weeks stay at the alamo Central over the Christmas time. The location is excellent, the apartment is very cozy; and most of all the Boutikia people are very responsible and professional. We had a shaky start, partially our own fault (one of us turned off the heat without realizing the ordinary looking switch in the laundry room was the main switch for the furnace, as the result we were without heat for a long weekend over a cold spell); partially due to the fact that previous tenants and the cleaning crew did not give the management proper feedback ( the faucet in the second bathroom was broken and the cloth dryer was seriously clogged). Once we brought the problems to the management's attention, they were fixed speedily and properly. The Boutikia people also did a very smart thing: not only they provided all sorts of provisions such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, laundry detergents,all sizes of trash bags, lots of towels, wash clothes,...etc; they did not throw out kitchen supplies left by previous people. As the result we did not have to purchase herbs, salt and pepper, cooking oil,...etc. For short term renters it is a bless. We also got our full refund speedily. All in all I have very good impression of the Boutikia management and will most definitely rent from them again! The only other thing that is worth mentioning is parking. There is no on-site parking. Most nights we had no problem finding parking near by, if we return before 9 PM. The alternate side street cleaning ordinance is strictly enforced. I did get a parking ticket due to a so called "lock wheel" law! In San Francisco when one parks one's car on a slope however gentle, just setting the emergency brake is not enough. One must turn the wheels the correct way against the curb!! So if you are like me from somewhere hills are not an issue, you run the risk of getting a steep fine!

The apartment was as described, completely exceeded expectation. Many hazy, sunny mornings enjoyed in the capacious, private garden. Great location, easy access to places of interest and public transport routes. Even our local friends were amazed at the condition of the property and were rather jealous of the lovely garden. All Local amenities within close proximity to property. I would highly recommend this vacation rental and look forward to my next stay with Boutikia. A definitive "Home away from Home". Boutikia ensured all check-in/out information was provided, a very personal service indeed considering we did not have to meet anyone with regards.

I reserved this flat for a wedding party and we found it to be very well-located and supplied. There was little that we lacked in terms of appliances and comfort, and compared to a stale hotel, we found the flat to be an enjoyable place to relax for the week. The two double rooms are quite nice, though the room with twin beds could use a bit of decor as it is a bit drab compared to the other two. The garden is definitely lovely! Perfect for a barbeque if the weather is cooperating. Very centrally located, theres bus stop nearby with a direct line to downtown and there is no shortage of shops and eateries in the neighbourhood itself. Sri and the other contacts were extremely helpful throughout the reservation process, however, the guestbook in the flat needs to be updated with more and current information. The place could use some minor repairs to really touch it up (eg. loose doorknobs, broken towel rack, a lamp didnt work), but other than that, a very good option for SF!

My family and I had a great time at this delightful place. From the moment we arrived, we noticed that the place was impeccably clean and comfortable. The deck and garden are beyond great. We had our dinners on the deck outside whenever the weather permitted. It was truly a magical experience to be eating in the evening, surrounded by beautiful plants and trees in a comfortable setting. The location is great. It is a happening, hip part of town and we were close to coffee shops, bars, restaurants and night life. We could walk to Panhandle / Golden Gate park and it's museums. I would like to thank our hosts Seri and Nisha for making the whole experience particularly smooth and delightful.

Excellent service, perfect response to special requests. The home was nice and warm, the deck and back yard beautiful... we had a couple of great barbecues! The location is really convenient, one block from the first bus and two blocks from Oak & Divisadero (plenty of buses). The best was the 'living room - deck - back yard' combo!
