We enjoyed our stay in the City for four days in October.
Having access to Arbee's apartment had a good deal to do with the success of our trip
For us being a block away from City Lights book store and a block away from Cafe Trieste was ideal for us.
We were in walking distance of a plethora of Italian and Chinese restaurants, as well as, the Muni bus system.
The apartment is in an older building near the apex of two hilly alley ways. (If you are not able to walk comfortably up hills, this apartment will not be a good match for you.)
The apartment is simply furnished, and is clean and bug free. The large bed is very comfortable to sleep on for two people and the towels and sheets are quite adequate
If we had wanted to, we could have cooked our meals in her kitchen, but as it turned out we only needed to use the microwave and refrigerator
The large living room windows gives you a roof top view of the buildings of the financial district. In my student days I would have loved to have lived here
Being in the city, there is of course street noise, but we did not find this annoying
Arbee is a conscientious and unobtrusive hostess
However, since I had grown up in the city, and I
still knew my way around, I did not need to rely on her for guidance about the town
She did check in with us mid way through our stay via text message just to make sure that we were doing okay which I appreciated
