This was a great place for us, because it is two blocks from my daughter's apartment but it is also a great location. It is close to public transportation. It is a pretty easy walk to the Noe Valley shopping area which is quite nice and you can walk along a slow street (Sanchez) to get there. It is also walking distance from the Bernal shopping district although there is a pretty substantial hill to go up. The apartment is small but very comfortable and quiet even though that it is very much in the city. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen is functional for standard meal preparation. We made a couple of casseroles to take to my daughter's. We will happily stay there again.
