This was the perfect place for our family of 5 (including 3 school-age kids) to stay while visiting family in SF. The location is ideal...within short blocks of grocery, coffee shops, and restaurants, yet on a quiet residential block. We loved waking up in the morning and running out to get a gourmet coffee and pastry. The location is convenient to destinations along the bay and on the North side of town and easy access to the walking/running trails along the SF bay. The apartment itself is super comfortable (great beds) and homey. Without other units in the building, it feels private, and with kids it's nice to not worry so much about noise. The parking spot was much appreciated. Ellen was welcoming, responsive to all our questions, and gave great advice. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
