This is a clean and comfortable apartment hosted by an owner who takes pride in her house. The apartment is on the 3rd floor of a triplex (three separately keyed apartments). The owner lives on the second floor (but was away during our stay). The owner checked on us by text frequently to make sure everything was ok with out stay. She has family close by in the event of any issues that require someone to attend. On the first floor, there is a small day care operation (3-4 kids) that runs, but it did not affect our stay, because we were out during the day. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with new or newer appliances, including microwave, blender for smoothies, coffee machine - just like home. She even stocks the kitchen with basic dry goods, spaghetti, pasta, rice, oatmeal etc. which are available to use. The apartment borders on Golden Gate Park and is in a clean and safe neighbourhood, and is out of the noisy hub-bub of downtown or Fishermans' Wharf (about a 15 minute drive). We had a rental car, which we parked on the street without any problems each night, so I can't comment on the available public transit. All the usually necessities, groceries, liquor store, pharmacy, convenience stores, are short walks. Highly recommend.
