Very nice apartment hosted by a great and attentive host in a rough section of San Fran. By "rough" I mean that this area is one of the tougher hoods in the city wrt homelessness, human waste on the streets, drugs, mentally ill folks, etc. You're sheltered from all of this inside, but it's immediately obvious the minute you walk out the door. There's no elevator and the apartment is on the "European 2nd floor" of a building of lofts - so each floor is also extra tall. In other words, if you have luggage, be prepared for a workout. I knew about the neighborhood in advance, but many might not. Also it's worth noting that there is no A/C - while that never used to be a concern in SF, increasingly it might matter to folks as the climate continues to shift. The TV is only located in the upper bedroom loft - and there's no real place otherwise (and seating in the loft) to gather as a group to watch TV. Lastly, the closest parking lot is super-duper-sketchy (not that easy to find) and not open on Sunday so you can't get/use your car that day.
