The pictures accurately reflected the apartment - everything was clean, comfortable and stylish! The apartment is on a small street located between Mission Street (still somewhat sketchy) and Valencia (renovated and hip). We were aware beforehand that the neighborhood is "edgy" -- we felt safe and just ventured out toward Valencia rather than Mission.

The nearby parking garage that Brian recommended is convenient and secure if you have a car with you. Since we had our car and also used Uber, can't comment on the ease of public transportation, but assume it's easy.

Plenty of places to eat nearby, however, we spent most of our time in other parts of the city. Highly recommend "Fina" located in the quaint St. Andrews Hotel for great Italian food at a non-touristy location near Union Square.

We would definitely stay here again!
