The location in Cole Valley is nice for central location needs. The apartment is up a steep hill from the main drag of Cole Valley. The entry is a separate door from the main house, a bit awkward entry to reach the back area as you're walking through a tunnel and through the main house's backyard to reach the apartment. There was good lighting for entering and exiting the area in the dark. There is nice deck to get fresh air right before the stairs to the apartment, which is connected the main house's backyard. The apartment itself was easy to enter and felt safe. The kitchen and bathroom were quite small (as described), but had all the essentials. As for the rest of the stay, it was cut short by a non-fixable issue with the water heater. Communication with the host was quick and we were issued a refund as we had to find new accommodations.
