We just spent two nights in Grace and Steve's apartment and found it most comfortable. The apartment was well appointed and the ability to park our car in the driveway was great, given the parking restrictions in the neighborhood. The " convenience " store across the street was a real plus, with food and wine/liquor selections well above average- we joked that we could have spent the whole weekend in the apartment, provisioned by the store. The apartment was two blocks, admittedly steep, from the commercial center of Noe Valley. We took the bus ( bring dollar bills and change ). All in all, a good experience, meeting or exceeding expectations!
