Nice and spacious apartment with lots of storage space, good shower, large windows, nice living room with fireplace and huge TV. The bedroom has a comfortable bed and can be darkened well using the curtains. The whole building is nice and clean. Central location with good public transport options, grocery stores, restaurants etc. nearby. Given that it is located in SOMA, relatively quiet and nice small street that feels safe (as long as one avoids sixth street). After moving in, we missed a few things (e.g., a vacuum cleaner, more than one pot), which were provided by the host upon request in a timely manner. The kitchen is large and has all necessary electric appliances, but provides only the bare minimum of further equipment (pots, pans, plates, cutlery) in poor quality. Some of the furniture is indeed "brand new" as mentioned in the title, but the apartment itself is not (it is not particularly old, either). The washing machine does not clean clothes well. There are ants in the bathroom (there are ant baits, but they are not sufficient to solve the problem). Communication with the host was ok but could have been better. All in all, we had a nice 1.5 months stay, but there are also some disadvantages.
