This is a very nicely appointed, self contained, ground floor apartment very close to the west portal muni stop and in a very pleasant, quiet and upscale neighbourhood. It is very nicely furnished, with everything you need for a short stay - fast, free internet that accepts a vpn connection and even a flat screen TV with Netflix!

Access to the apartment couldn't have been easier - with 4 digit pass codes that means no losing of keys.

Getting places is simple - just a 2 min walk to the muni station, buy a $2.25 ticket and 10 minutes later you are downtown.

If you can avoid having to use a car to get around it makes life easier - street parking is easy around the apartment but slightly tricky because of the 2 hour duration rule (unless you are a resident) and although Phil was able to let you have day tickets, it is probably easier if you use the MUNI, other public transport or if your legs are good - a bike.

I would not hesitate in recommending this apartment and would use it again when back in San Francisco.
