Apartment was accurately described and delivered spotlessly clean.
Check in was easy as there is a code, not a key, to the door.
Emily was very responsive to all our communications.
Comfortable bed, plenty of hot water in the shower, generous towels. The apartment was set up for easy living.
A very good value for San Francisco.
The neighborhood is quiet. Going one block up to Balboa Ave and west a few blocks brings you to coffee shops (visit Simple Pleasures) and restaurants. It's a mostly Asian neighborhood so the Chinese food was very good. But if you want active night life you will have to travel into downtown.
It's only half a block to Golden Gate Park. It's also about 2 miles to the ocean. We started most days by having breakfast at Simple Pleasures or Marla's bakery, then walking the rest of the way downhill to marvel at the Pacific Ocean ! (We're from New York). Then we took a bus into downtown for sightseeing.
One day we then walked around Land's End, a park on the water. One day from the house we walked to China Beach.
The neighborhood itself is pleasant to walk around. It's mostly 2 story row houses with each one different, often painted different pastel colors. On the same block as the apartment is a small public playground and a tennis court
The apartment is on the ground floor so no view and a bit of a closed in feel.
But we had a great time and would happily stay again.
