i booked marc's apt for my partner's parents, and i was a little nervous initially because they're a hotel kinda people...but they really enjoyed their stay at marc's place.
the apt is small, but really well laid out. everything works as they should, and they commented a few times about how clean the apt is.
the apt is very close to restaurants, cafe, shops, dolores park, etc. you won't need a car. also, there are nearby muni metro and bart stops if you want to head to downtown.
really, this is an ideal place to stay if you want to be situated in the mission, noe, castro or dolores park area. highly recommend it.
