17 Macondray is a true find. We spent 6 weeks and the views from the roof deck never get old; the panorama stretches from Alcatraz to Coit Tower to the Bay Bridge. The home is charming with wood paneling and intriguing art pieces thru the home. The Russian Hill area is beautiful, safe, and gives great access to both Polk Street and North Beach- with all shops and restaurants that they have to offer. Sands is a gracious host, very responsive, and certainly pleasant to work with. We enjoyed our time immensely and will recommend this special spot to friends.
