Shal’s place is elegant and cozy with thoughtful design touches and arrangements (artwork, blankets/pillows, tapestries, books, rugs, furniture) throughout. The unit was spotless when I checked in. I really appreciated the flexible check in time option. The kitchen has top quality fixtures, appliances, dishes and cookware. I wanted to take the stove home with me when I checked out. The bedroom is roomy and quiet with a closet for your clothes and bags. The queen sized bed is super comfortable! The living / dining room is fully appointed with a comfy sofa, chairs, TV and fireplace (and overlooks a beautiful garden.) There is a table which can be used as a desk (I was able to attend video meetings and get my work done) and for meals. Check in was a breeze with really cool digital locks. Shal offered assistance on my check in/out and during my stay and was very fast to respond. Location is ideal in San Francisco’s charming Noe Valley neighborhood. It is very close to the shopping district on 24th Street. There are restaurants, cafe's, clothing stores, hair salons, pharmacies, grocery stores and anything you could want. Shal’s place has such a good vibe. I instantly felt at home and didn’t want to leave.
