My husband and I have stayed in Noe Valley many times over the years during long work trips in San Francisco - both before and after having a child. Eugene's apartment was in a great location - close to Whole Foods, all the 24th Street shops, the Muni J Line, and multiple useful bus lines. So long as you don't mind some stairs (several up to the front door and a long flight as soon as you walk in), the apartment is great. We were very comfortable there. It's a spacious place, though the bathrooms are both quite small. Kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. Note: our son is 5 and had no trouble with the stairs or layout, but I might avoid having a very small child there as the stairway opens right into the main hallway. Nothing a baby gate wouldn't fix.
