What a gem of an apartment in a fantastic neighborhood! Flooded by sunlight from windows on all sides and refreshed by the breezes, this comfortable and wonderfully clean apartment has lots of space and is well appointed. It's on the back of the building, so has a tree-top view and zero street noise. It's at least one block up from any commerce, so it's in a quiet residential block, anyway.

The north-south bus line runs up Castro Street, providing quick access to Golden Gate Park and the Marina. Just three blocks north is Market street, which cuts diagonally from southwest to northeast, providing access to the museum district, the ferry building, and Fisherman's Wharf. From the museum district, the cable car offers the quintessential San Francisco experience up and over the hills and down to the Fort (go on Friday evening and eat from the amazing food trucks!).

In short, there is nowhere in San Francisco that one can't get from this location. Though parking is available, a car simply isn't needed.

My wife and I would definitely stay here again. Castro Sanctuary is an excellent value.
