Susan's beautiful home is a prime example of the phrase: "Location is everything." Situated smack-bang in the heart of the historic Alamo Square district, every point of San Francisco's compass is within easy walking distance of this Edwardian-era treasure. From the Presidio and the iconic Bridge to the north; SOMA to the east; the vibrant Mission and Castro districts to the south and the stunning Golden Gate park to the west, simply walking out the front door puts you within reach of everything this wondrous city. And after a full day's worth of wandering, the apartment—being both immaculately kept and surprisingly quite—is the perfect place to retire to rest weary feet and plan for the adventures a new day will bring.
At the risk of sounding cliché, I'd highly recommend Susan's apartment to anyone looking for an authentic, locally-oriented experience of the City of Fog. If and when I do find myself there again in the future, I know where I'd like to stay.
