My roommate Steve and I lived in Markus' apartment for three months this summer (which I believe is the longest duration anyone has stayed at 714).

There were many things we really liked about the apartment including its phenomenal location (truly the best), the spaciousness of the apartment, and the overall decor. Markus was also a very good host and answered a slew of questions we had before arriving in SF.

While we mostly loved the apartment, there were also a number of things that could have been better including the value (still extremely expensive, even for SF) and a number of minor issues around the house – the laundry machine didn't quite work, the couch was slightly damaged, a handful of windows wouldn't stay up, etc. Since none of the issues were urgent, Markus indicated that he'd fix them before the next guest arrived.

One other thing to be aware of is that the downstairs neighbors are extremely irritable, and after having a very small group of friends over, we were told not to entertain. It's not Markus' fault, but it is worth noting that you probably won't be able to have more than 4 people over without disturbing the neighbors. Less applicable for short stays, more so for longer ones.

At the end of the day, though, I'd recommend staying here. The location really is stellar, and it's hard to imagine not enjoying this apartment even with the minor problems.
