The views are phenomenal, must be seen to be believed. My wife spent a tremendous amount of time just staring out the window at the city and the Bay Bridge (which is fun at night with the light show). The ability to look down on the NE part of San Fran was helpful in getting my bearings on how things lay out there, which is confusing, to say the least. The apartment had everything we needed plus a few contingency items (not least of which is an extra umbrella). The neighborhood is fun and seemingly quite safe, making for a comfortable walk in the night. All in all it made for a great home base for our stay.
