A beautiful apartment right in the heart of North Beach; very close to public transport and other neighborhoods. My family and I had great time here while we were in San Francisco for a week. John was a fantastic host (even responding to emails when he was out of town) and I also found his neighbors very friendly and helpful. His recommendations on local restaurants, bars and tourist activities were excellent. The apartment itself had all the amenities (full kitchen, washing facilities, wi-fi, cable TV etc.) and is an ideal location to spend some quiet time after trekking around the city. Highly recommended.
