Maria’s apartment was fabulous and we would really recommend it. It was stylish and clean and had a great spacious kitchen and living area with a good selection of board games which our kids loved. We were a bit unsure about the area based on different feedback we’d read about the Mission however we were really pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend the location to anyone wanting to stay out of downtown in a more interesting, eclectic area with the benefit of a spacious apartment to come back and relax in of an evening. We saw a lot more homeless people close to the city than around the apartment where I don’t think we came across any. The location was very central to both buses and the BART train and you could access just about anywhere we wanted to go using these. There was a great selection of cafes and restaurants in walking distance from Maria’s ranging from more Mexican style toward 23/24th direction and more trendy hipster style in the other direction. All in all a fabulous experience. And finally thank you Maria for letting us check in first thing in the morning following our very early plane arrival from Sydney.
