This place is a great spot to explore SF from. It is really close to Balmy Alley's street art and lots of great cafés, bakeries, wine bars and restaurants. Our favourite breakfast place was the Beloved Café which is only a few blocks away. The best coffee to go we found close to that at Arizmendi Bakery. The apartment is also close to the BART and to CityBike stations. We found the neighborhoods pretty walkable too, tough.
Communication with the host is really quick and friendly. The apartment's bed is quite comfy, the bathroom is new and very clean, the interior pretty stylish. We would definetely choose the apartment again when returning to the city.
