Mariam was a wonderful host and the apartment was great. The location is really what's exceptional and what you're paying for here if it's the environment you're looking for. You walk around the corner and you are on the Marina green with great views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and nice walking paths along the bay. You are a few blocks from shopping and restaurants on Chestnut street as well. Even thought you are are close to these things, the neighborhood is exceptionally quiet with no cars or traffic (with off street parking if you rent a car). The apartment itself was nice and clean with a very nice kitchen if you want to be able to cook (which I did). Overall, we had a great time here and it was a great home away from home to come back to and relax after a day of sightseeing. Thanks again!
