Absolutely loved Ellen's place. It is so well located and fun to be up Russian Hill! While the apartment is relatively compact (but true to the pictures) it is beautifully laid out giving the impression of far more space. The appartment is well appointed and equipped with many useful amenities including a washing machine, coffee machine, microwave etc as well as all the usual standard equipment. Loved the kitchen counter to eat breakfast and tap away on my laptop. The bathroom is spacious and unlike so many places there is even a bathtub, hurrah. Plenty of fluffy towels too. The bedroom is very zen and also comfortable with nice bedlinen. The lounge section, on a split level from the kitchen, has a comfy couch, ideal for just hanging out. I wish we had had the time to be able to use the little garden, which looked beautiful, it would be amazing in spring summer.
Ellen was fantatsic, really lovely, flexible with check-in/check-out and incredibly helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend the place and hope to come back again.
