Michael made us feel very welcome. He had a lot of information about the area and the apartment. We were very comfortable in the apartment. The fold-out bed was great for our kids - would not be so great for heavier adults. The other bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved sipping coffee and wine on the back porch and garden! The neighborhood is interesting - a mix of residential with pockets of commercial. Ninth Street has a ton of wonderful eateries, and there is a market only 2 blocks away for cooking at Michael's house. The transit is closeby with the N-Judah line. We could connect to anywhere in the city. It was quiet and comfortable
