Stayed for a couple weeks in January while doing some short-term work in SF. The apartment was exactly as described – somewhat quirky, but then very charming and comfortable. Joe was very easy to deal with. I never saw him during my stay, but he was very responsive via text – no issues at all with my communication with him. Location is great – safe and quiet neighborhood - short walk to Chinatown, North Beach, Financial District. Took me about 40 minutes to walk to/from SOMA each day for work, which was comparable to pubic transportation. It is at the top of a hill that is very steep (no exaggeration) – but that allows you to really experience part of SF’s unique charm and it offers great views (and is good cardio). Also, I’m tall and had no problem with the loft bed, which was very comfortable. Bumped my head the first few times in the kitchen, but tall people will know how to adjust. Highly recommended.
