As advertised, this is a terrifically located apartment in a super safe neighborhood, a short walk from Chinatown, North Beach, Nob Hill and a half block off the cable car line. Great location, and it was easy to hail taxis in any direction. The apartment has no view, but is clean and pleasantly furnished and comfortable. The host is attentive and only a call or a text message away and she was kind enough to check on my 80 year old mother via phone to make sure she got in to the apartment ok, since she was arriving a few hours ahead of me. It is noisy. The upstairs neighbors walk across hardwood floors when they get home at midnight and 1 am, and you can hear their conversations. It's also on the alley for the Chinese Hospital, so I was awakened each morning at 5:30am by the garbage truck picking up the hospital dumpsters. So I didn't sleep much when I was there, but my mom slept through all of it. So if noise doesn't bother you, this is a very comfortable place to stay with good hosts and a great San Francisco city location.
