Dave was easy to communicate with throughout our trip. Checking in was as easy as opening a small code lock-box to get the keys to the building and loft, and check out was as easy and leaving that all behind. I honestly don't think you could ask for a better location if you're looking to explore SF for the first time - it truly is central. Heck, when we explored the Mission district we took a car to the bottom and just walked our way back to the loft - we could have done the same for pretty much every major area we wanted to see. The first night we arrived we decided that since we'd be there a full week we would want some of our usual creature comforts, a full grocery store is an easy walk away (~1 mile). The rest of the time we just pop'ed into the small corner store Nik's which was essentially across the street (it's wrong on google maps though, it's on the big main road south of the loft). The building was nice and quiet and the room was clean, comfortable, and plenty roomy for our uses. There's a decent diner right across the main road as well, but if you're looking for something a little nicer without being super pricey Cafe du Soleil is an easy walk and has great food to get your day started.

Anyhow, 10/10 - we'll definitely be staying with Dave again if the place is available next time we visit. Cheaper than a lot of the other listings in worse neighborhoods (this neighborhood felt nice and safe the whole time, as opposed to the tenderloin where most of the price-competitive listings are).
