The location of this place cannot be beat. While the kitchen was set up with the basics for making breakfast and coffee, there is an excellent market that feels like a little slice of Paris within a 1 minute walk of the apartment. The marketplace hosts a delicious bakery, coffee shop, grocery store, wine shop, flower shop and fresh seafood market- everything you could possible need to eat well and find rare food items as souvenirs. There are other fantastic restaurants and fun boutique shopping all right there as well. The train really is only a 2 minute walk from the front door, and surprisingly, while it can be heard at night, the sound is not intrusive.
Along those lines- this is an apartment building on a busy street and I expected it to be loud, but it was not! The bed was very cozy and the nights were quiet- the makings for a sound sleep. Overall, the space was also larger than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise given my experience in many bay area Airbnbs. The apartment was clean, had good heating for the chilly nights, and the kitchen was stocked enough for basic cooking and wine drinking.
