The view, the view. Watching the bay was the real highlight of our trip. Great place for being distracted if you're trying to work a bit on vacation. Watching the dawn come up, so many shades of blue. Watching the ships come and go through the day. Watching the sunset fall and the night lights of the bay and bridges turn on. Fog rolling in and out, fuzzing the edges.

It's a nice flat and Thomas could not have made it easier to set up, arrive and depart. Bright, lots of windows for light and air, comfy furniture, proper kitchen, great bed and bed linens. Modern bathroom. Lots of books and full entertainment system.

There are two things that guests need to be aware of, for fear of having a bad time compared to some other places. This is no criticism of the flat, it's the price of the great view and just things to be aware of. First off, the hills were tough for this flatlander. Walking any direction requires at least a block of very steep hill. Then from the door up to the flat is another 2.5ish levels of stairs. It was just a small negative to face after a good day of walking around. Eventually we ended up walking down to do things, then UberX back up the hill at the end of the day, which was $5 or so from the Ferry Building and a couple more from the FWharf area.

Second, due to the hills the road noise is significant. Cars revving to go up, or brakes squealing to go down, and due to the slope the vehicles are on the level of the 3rd floor flat when only a short distance away up the hill. This is most significant at morning and evening commuter hours, and mostly died out after midnight-ish, but there was always "that guy" roaring around. So be prepared for that. I slept fine but a sensitive person might want earplugs. Afternoon naps were pretty tough.

But ahhh, the view makes it all worthwhile. We would do it again.
