Joe's place is in the Richmond District in SF, and was a nice inexpensive, slightly more "remote" place to stay in the city. Things to know: it's not a luxury apartment, but it works just fine and do you really spend that much time inside anyway? The studio unit was clean and fit the bill for me just fine as it can sleep two people with the futon in addition to the queen bed.

By remote I mean that Richmond is bit removed from the busier areas of the city like Mission, but the price seemed reasonable and I wanted to be in a quieter, less touristy area of the city. Joe's place is just one block from Geary Blvd, which has quite a few coffee shops, restaurants and markets. You can catch several Muni buses along Geary towards downtown which come every few minutes, all day. Joe's place is also 3 blocks from Golden Gate Park, and a reasonable walk from China Beach along the ocean cliffs overlooking the Golden Gate.
