Location, location, location! Michael's place is in a very cute, safe area of the city that is close to Fisherman's wharf, the North Beach area and public transportation. In addition, a few blocks up on Polk St. there is a trendy area with restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The place is small, but clean and includes an efficiency kitchen. Having access to a washer and dryer was also a plus for us. There is a small set of stairs to navigate with luggage, but it's not bad. We had a great trip!
