We really liked Phyllis and the apartment worked out for us. The location was good with caveats. Valencia street is lovely nearby. Very cute shops and great food. It is two blocks from a bart station which is good and bad. I didn’t know how much homeless activity there is directly around those stations. And the part of Mission street nearby is pretty sketch. The other odd thing is this apartment is at the end of a dead end street. Less convenient and mixed with homeless population made me less at ease. SF is a big city so I guess we can expect a little of this anywhere.
All that said the apartment itself was clean, nice, and was set up to cook. It was on the ground floor so lower ceilings but there was still some natural light. If the upstairs people are noisy you will hear it through the floors.
Phyllis was a terrific host and helped us when we wanted to checkout late. She did everything she could to make our stay pleasant.
