Springer's apartment is stunning, and feels very self-contained; even though it's technically a shared space so has to be listed as one, it's really just a shared front door and hallway. The apartment has its own lockable door, sitting room and private shower room. The area is smart with independent boutiques and restaurants, and I felt completely safe as a solo female visitor. It's not close to the BART, but there are good bus links to downtown (#1, 2 and 3), and the Castro/ Mission etc are only a short Uber ride away.
The photos are very accurate, if anything the space is even more lovely in reality. It's HUGE, sunny and quiet, really private and so beautiful - Springer has amazing taste. Super-comfy bed, great shower, and I used the coffee machine every day. The fridge and microwave were also useful.
My late check-in and requested late check-out were no problem, and even though I didn't see Springer at all after check-in she answered my texts quickly. I appreciated little touches like the ground coffee, numerous fluffy towels, and the fact the fire had been left on when I arrived so it was cosy and warm. Highly recommended.
