This place is an amazing flat, quintessential updated-vintage and quirky San Francisco. If you know the City a bit and understand what to expect in the Mission, stop looking and book now, you will LOVE it. If you're not so sure, just be aware that the Mission is a dynamic place that can be challenging in some ways: parking, noise, blight. The trade-off is location, and everything the Mission has to offer. We managed well the challenges with minimal effort: Paid to park securely off-site and made best use of opportunities created by ample transit and this place's amazing location. We used earplugs at night, and enjoyed too the morning songbirds and ample (if unpredictable) moments of quiet even as they were punctuated, occasionally, by machines and people's voices. We recognized the efforts the City is making to make street life better and tried our best to understand all our neighbors where we stayed. And the building neighbors are so great! We had nice chats with them in coming-and-going, and felt warmly welcomed all around. We didn't meet Andrew and family, but he was so responsive and friendly about everything. The apartment is furnished perfectly, so comfortable and stylish, even roomy for a family of four. Highest recommendation: value, style, character, location, amenities, and soul. Bravo!
