Marc & Elena's apartment in Nob Hill is an absolute sanctuary - the entire space is calm and quiet, but the modern decor gives it a vibrant, happy energy.
The building is tucked behind St. Francis Memorial, which somehow manages to hide all of the noise and hubbub of the surrounding city. I honestly suspect that the building might've been nurses quarters' for the hospital at one point. It was as if the floorplan was *engineered* for wellness: the apartment has to be one of the most hypoallergenic places I've ever been in, but nothing felt "sterile" or "severe". Simply put, it's just a highly-functional space! :)
The other nice thing about that location is that it's extraordinarily convenient: in addition to easy access to doctors' offices, there's a CVS, Trader Joe's, hardware store, coffee shop, and several restaurants within a 2-block radius. One could conceivably live here for *years* and never have to walk more than a few blocks for anything.
Saving the best part for last: Elena was extremely accommodating and chill to communicate with. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, I ended up changing my travel plans. Elena was there with me every step of the way, and it all worked out in the end.
