We loved staying at Ashley's place. It was perfect for us in every way.
The bright, light, spacious apartment is perfectly located only one block away from the Muni transport links which can take you all over the city. Which makes it ideal for getting about. This, paired with being 2 mins walk from a bustling neighbourhood street, full of shops and restaurants made it perfect for all the amenities we could need. We really didn't have to go far to get anything we needed. And yet despite being so well located, the street, and the apartment were wonderfully peaceful to retire to.
Golden gate Park was only a 20 minute walk away, or a few stops on the bus, and has so much to do, we could have spent all our time in there, if we wanted to.
Getting to the main tourist areas such as fisherman's wharf, to go to Alcatraz, and going down town for shopping was very easy. And really didn't take long on public transport at all. It's faster on the cable cars than the buses at peak times.
Do be aware, this really isn't an area where having, driving, or parking a car is easy. Public transport really is your best friend in this city.
Ashley was always easy to get hold of, for recommendations, or advice, if needed. And generously laid out a breakfast for us for our arrival, along with fresh flowers. Which was very welcome to arrive to, after a long transatlantic flight.
The beds were very comfortable, and the apartment was impeccably clean. We didn't want for anything facilities wise in the apartment, and found everything we might need for our stay.
I would highly recommend Ashley's apartment to anyone wanting to stay in San Francisco.
We would definitely stay here again.
