I'm a young guy who lived here for 6 months while temporarily working in San Francisco and it was pretty much perfect for that. The location is great for going out to the bars on Valencia, but I tried to avoid being out alone late at night in this area. The room was very clean when I got it, and it had everything i needed to keep it clean and organized. There were a few small shortcomings such as slow / unreliable wifi, a broken closet door, a broken thermostat (only could turn heat on/off, not set a temperature), and $4 per load of laundry in a mediocre machine. The apartment walls are pretty thin and the street outside can be a little rambunctious if you're trying to sleep early but that's also just life in the city. Overall it was a pretty great experience but I wanted to list the issues I found over 6 months so that people know what to expect. None of these would have been deal-breakers to me before I made my reservation, and knowing what I know now I would go back in the same situation.
