A charming and comfortable flat in a great location. The unit is spacious and comfortable - a large dining room, large and well-equipped kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms, and a spacious living room. Although the decor is plain the apartment itself has lots of period charm -- moldings, textured wallpaper, and original built-in cabinetry. We did not have any problems with noise (unlike some other reviewers) - there is some bus and traffic noise and occasional yelling spilling over from Haight Street - but nothing bothersome or surprising for a city neighborhood. We could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around occasionally, but this is unavoidable for this type of building. The location is great, with lots of restaurants, shops, and other amenities very close by. There is also lots of public transit in the neighborhood, including the Muni station at Carl and Cole with quick service to downtown and the Embarcadero. We did not have any difficulty finding street parking (two hour limit during the day) but this may have been partly because it was Christmas week when many people leave town. We also appreciated the full-sized washer and dryer.
