The apartment and the area was everything we had hoped for, based on Danielle's description. Traveling from Europe as a family with two kids (3 and 7 years old), this was the perfect place to spend our first nights at, before heading south through California. A calm, clean and quiet starting point. Location was excellent for the kids, with the Golden Gate park so nearby (we also enjoyed the Angelo J. Rossi playground). The Safeway store a few blocks away was great for us. From the apartment, it's walking distance to Cole Hardware, where you can buy 1-, 3- or 7-Day visitor passports for getting around with all the public transport. (And, yeah: as much as I hate praising some IT gadget when sharing experiences from a place 5 000 miles from home, the Chromecast on the TV really was a treat for the children.) Definitely recommend it.
