Ben's place was in a very nice location - walkable to many nice restaurants and cafes right near Cole Valley and Haight Ashbery. His pre-trip information was very helpful and prepared us well for the trip. The apartment itself was meticulously cared for and looked to be renovated recently - also, extremely clean. There is very little noise from the street and in the building itself and we found it good for kids.
No chance we'd think of staying anywhere else on our next visit!
