Apartment location is super close to Hayes Valley (do yourself a favor and get some smitten ice cream!!!) also walking distance to Castro and the Mission! Market street is just a block away - here you will find loads of public transit including vintage street cars. The apartment is on a main busy street but is in the back of the building so street noise is limited. The space itself was once part of a larger home full of Victorian splendor which echoes in the bones of the space. Tall windows ( which have a film to stop from people seeing in - but also stop one from seeing out) old wood floors , cast iron tub , working antique stove and insanely high ceilings. There is plenty of closet space but no dresser which only would affect longer stays. In general the apartment has many wonderful features including the awesome marble work in kitchen and bath but is not for someone seeking a modern lux experience. That being said I enjoyed my 3 weeks there and was responded to with warmth and kindness by Mark as things came up. He was extremely enthusiastic to accommodate.
