We enjoyed our stay at 949 Hampshire. This is a very clean, nicely renovated and very modern ground floor apartment with all new appliances and furniture. It has only been used a few times so far.

The apartment is in the Mission, San Francisco's most vibrant and diverse area, and the area around 949 has a neighborhood feel to it. It also has the advantage that it is sunny most of the time. The apartment is within walking distance of the entire Mission district, including two BART stations and Muni buses that can take you downtown. BART gets you to the Embarcadero in only about 10 or 15 minutes. Access to 101 is also very convenient. If you are energetic you can walk to the South of Market Area by way of the 18th Street Bridge over 101, and get fantastic views of the city for your effort.

Best of all, though, it is close to everything in the Mission, including its many fine, small, unique restaurants. It seemed that we encountered a new one every time we went out. We particularly recommend El Metate and The Spice Jar, both of which are on Bryant within only two blocks of this apartment. The lemonade alone at The Spice Jar is worth a visit (but the food is excellent, too). A slightly longer walk of several blocks gets you to Valencia, where you will find all kinds of ethnic restaurants.
