My wife and I stayed at David's for 2 months, June-July, for medical treatments at UCSF. The location was perfect because the hospital was a 15 minute walk each way for my daily treatment. It was ideal for us also because it had two great coffee houses each a block away, excellent restaurants, a post office, flower shop, wine store, little book store, pizza place, sushi place, a couple small neighborhood grocery stores and a wonderful small natural food store ("Good Life") about a 10 minute walk. Whole Foods is also just a 20 minute walk.. We didn't have a car, but the bus stop is a 2-½ block walk, and that connects to the whole city transport system. The location also mostly avoids San Francisco's notorious cold summer fog, a big plus.
The apartment is on the lowest floor, rather dark and cold (there's a good heater), and has several levels, from 4" to 18", which could be challenging to people with walking problems. The kitchen is adequate, as is the bathroom, but both have some problems. The sink faucet spigots in both are loose and twist around when you use them. 0n the upside, there is lots of hot water and it is wonderfully hot!
In the kitchen the microwave was great, the fridge adequate, the range&oven less so and kitchen utensils so-so. One burner on the range doesn't work and we had to buy a barbecue flame clicker to light a third burner when two were lit. We used the oven perhaps 10 times and a couple of times it leaked gas for no apparent reason, so we had to open all doors and windows to finish cooking those meals.
Another item in a state of disrepair is the initial entrance door along the sidewalk. The lower door hinges are falling off the casing, thus the door latch doesn't line up. With effort I was able to jimmy it to lock but it was impossible for my wife. That entry door needs to be redone, otherwise it won't lock.
David's place is mostly clean (except for the drawers and “pantry” cabinet), and there was an added bonus for us of him having it cleaned every 2 weeks since we were long-termers. That was great.
The saving grace is the backyard garden. Most days it is full of sunshine from early morning to 6 pm, and you can see that sunshiny garden through the back glass doors from bed almost every morning, and sit in the sun all day if you want.
In sum, if you're a couple or family that plans to have regular family meals at home, we think the kitchen in particular needs an upgrade. If you're a single person or couple who plans on eating out 90% of the time this would be perfect.
