Sharon’s place in North Beach is almost ideally situated for a visit to SF. The views are, in fact, “stunning” as the description claims. My family and I would wake up to beautiful views of the bay and watch the fog recede in the late morning hours.
There are some great restaurants within walking distance and some nice markets. You will eat well.
The nights were quiet. There was almost no noise from the usual sources (bars, restaurants, people walking home, etc.).
The place is beautiful and comfortable. Like all buildings constructed in 1911, it has quirks and some challenges. If you don’t like walking stairs or hills, you should probably avoid SF entirely. Sharon’s place has nice appliances, bedding and towels. The bathroom is split from the shower, so it can accommodate 4 people very comfortably.
We celebrated our son’s 20th birthday here, and Sharon was very gracious and accommodating.
