I'm not easily impressed but this experience lived up to the hype. The views were spectacular both day and night (when there was no fog). The parking was sometimes challenging but there was always a spot. The apt. was nice and quiet at night --- some city noises during the day.

And then there was Alex. He was a nice guy. He was friendly and yet he let me have my space. I only rented a room so he was around cooking and working and preparing to work out. Very zen-like.

I was not in SF for a vacation but to visit a sick relative. At the end of the day the apt served as a nice quiet refuge with no drama, or loud kids running around or loud music playing.

For me the combination of the views, the relative quiet, and Alex all seemed to work for a place I looked forward to.
