We stayed at Laura's place for more than a month - and loved it! It truly felt like our home. The location is on the top of the hill, but I appreciated the exercise - just be aware it's pretty steep. It's positioned right in the middle between Castro and Cole valley - so you're about half a mile a way from awesome bars, restaurants and public transportation. My favorite restaurant nearby - Beit Rima :)
The view was great, the kitchen was well equipped, the apartment in quiet and can generate a nice breeze with windows opened on both sides, and the apartment is bright with lovely light and a lovely porch. The living room is huuuge and comfy. Laundry on premises. And plenty of street parking - I could always find a spot right in front of the building or across the street.
We loved our stay and if I could, I'd probably live here permanently.
Last but not least, Laura is a great and responsive host. Thanks for everything!
