As a former resident of this neighborhood, I’m a little biased, but I love this part of the Mission. St Francis Fountain is just down the street, with its hipster charm and old time-y vibe. You also have Pop’s for a cheap PBR, El Farolito for the BEST Mission Burrito, and the streets are covered in murals...do a tour with Precita Eyes to learn more about them!
This is the most authentic part of the Mission. It’s wild and unruly, so know what you’re signing up for! If you want a gentrified neighborhood with baby strollers, go to Noe Valley.
As for the rental unit:
The actual place is spacious and even though it is a mother in law unit via the garage, it still has some bright windows and a newly remodeled bathroom. It was clean and easy to access. Bedding and towels were soft and smelled fresh. The kitchen had all the amenities for cooking, though we didn’t cook. What looked like local art throughout the place, modern furniture, and super comfortable non-squeaky bed. What more can you ask for?
The place was also super QUIET. That’s a rarity in this neighborhood, but because it’s so tucked away, it’s extremely quiet. (You may hear a band playing, but not at night while you sleep) This was much appreciated because I’m 5 months pregnant and have enough trouble sleeping!
All in all, we would book again.
