This is an ideal location if you are looking to experience as much of San Francisco as possible. It is located right next to the cable car line and a short Uber to most locations around downtown. There is a market and a very nice liquor store within a block and the neighborhood is very safe to walk at all times. If you plan on taking a lot of public transit (which you should) the City Pass is a good way to go. It includes 3 days of unlimited transit (except BART) and admission to several attractions.
AC's place is exactly as described- updated and very clean. The kitchen and washer/dryer are a huge bonus to have on a trip. Also, the views from the rooftop deck are incredible.
