This beautiful Victorian is pretty much the perfect place to stay in San Francisco.

The apartment itself is a nice blend of old and new, and in perfect condition. The quality of accommodation is close to that of a hotel, with a lovely modern bathroom, well equipped kitchen, extremely comfortable bed and pleasant living room. The roof deck, with its amazing views over the city, is just a bonus. Building and apartment are safe and secure, with nice neighbours.

The immediate neighbourhood is mostly residential, but you are within walking distance of much of central San Francisco (I'm a big walker, so this may not be true for everyone - but the apt. is on a number of bus routes and the tram system is nearby on Duboce). There are nice places to eat and drink a few blocks away, in particular the Alamo Square Café (great for breakfast) a block or two north on Fillmore.

Check-in and out were as easy as could be. David was friendly and informative when I arrived, then left me very much to myself (which I prefer). He was also very quick to respond to questions by email during my stay.

If you're looking for clean, comfortable accommodation, with the convenience of a kitchen and the feeling of actually living in a neighbourhood, then I recommend David's place wholeheartedly.
