The communication was timely, everything was in place for us, the parking was very difficult as we had to keep moving the vehicle every 2 hours (7am-9pm) and spent a lot of time on the sidewalk waiting for spots. But that's probably anywhere in San Fran. We never looked for the public parking lot. It was very comfortable, great location, very cute yard and deck. Lawrence did have a lot of stuff around, stacks of mags, cds, shoes, condoms on the side table etc. (lived in) which was fine with us but mentionable I think. We enjoyed the flavor of the apartment, definitely not boring. Loved the huge tv and audio system and was able to easily plug in my roku and watch my movies, even had an hdmi cable ready. Would stay again. Thanks Lawrence
