Ilya and Sveta's place was great. It was clean and cozy. The kitchen is galley style, but very well equipped. There's a French coffee press - whoo-hoo! The bed was comfy. Instructions were clear. It was easy to find and easy to get into. We loved the area heaters because the first night was quite cool. It's only a few blocks from my favorite restaurant area on Irving. It's close to the park and not far from the beach. It does have two steep steps down to get in. If you have a vehicle, the parking is plentiful and easy. If you're counting on public transit only, it's important to know that you have to navigate about four blocks of steep hills to get out of the area of the apartment to then walk to public transit. Major lines of MUNI are near, but not next door. That said, this is one of my favorite areas of the city and easily accessible to many major attractions. The neighborhood is very quiet.
