Basil's apartment is in a great area, close to transport and also walkable into the downtown area if you really want to. There are also loads of cafes and restaurants in the Noe Valley area if you don't have the energy to venture very far.

Basil's place is great but needs a bit of attention to make it something I would rave about. There are a few things that need fixing which prevent me from giving it a 5 star rating which I have given Basil feedback on.

Also, as others have mentioned, when we were staying there for two weeks, there were some problems with construction noise and power outages. Basil very generously offered a price reduction to offset some of the inconvenience. If you need peace and quiet for your stay, you might want to look elsewhere although there seems to be a lot of construction going on in San Francisco at any given time!

Be careful with parking your vehicle on the street. We were told to ignore the two hour parking restrictions during our stay but ended up with two fines.
