We went out to California early in March and looked for a place. Ilsa spent the week beforehand scouring craigslist for any hint of a place that might work for us, and, after a fab party at the SuperDelegate and the HippyChick's place (yes, it was a costume party) we set to work attempting to wow the landlords with our doggie resume, people resume, and smiling faces. We visited about 20 places, including "two bedrooms" where one bedroom was a walk-in closet and places in "Noe Valley" that were mere steps off of Mission.
One place we saw on Sunday was out in Glen Park, owned by a man named "Steve". He was very nice, the place great, and it became our top choice. The next three days we waited eagerly for his call and visited other places. Our "backup" was rented to someone else due to a misunderstanding. We were at Circa (great restaurant, with a chef who's now on Top Chef) for what was to be our celebration dinner and we still hadn't heard anything. We ordered a drink -- and when our Martinis showed up -- the phone rang, and we had our place. The meal was much better knowing we search had ended!
A few pics are below. Note the great views and the cool staircase & library ladder. The place is just a few blocks from the center "village" of the Glen Park neighborhood and a few blocks from BART.

We are definitely coming to visit!!! This place is beautiful. I love that library ladder, appropriate for the 8,000 books don't you think? ;)
It's great!!! I'm so excited for you guys.
I have a spiral staircase in my condo and while it looks cool, I have to tell you that it's a pain in the ass to MOVE anything up there!
The place looks amazing... love the library ladder!
Enjoy your adventures on the way!
xoxo
