Apartment located in very upmarket area of San Francisco, so very nice to walk around and quiet overnight. There weren't too many restaurants or shops close by, but Fillmore Street only a 10 minute walk away where there are loads. We didn't have any communication with our hosts while we were there, but none was necessary as instructions for arrival and departure where straightforward and we had no problems while we were there. Not a great deal of outdoor space, but not really necessary as there is the whole of San Francisco to explore.
