This is a thoughtfully equipped, private and soundproofed addition to a lovely house, with a back garden and that “secret San Francisco” feel that includes the storied parrots of the city feeding nearby. Location is premium, a short walk to the charms of Fillmore St and the best patisserie (b. patisserie) in the city, and in the other direction to Whole Foods. Very quiet despite the busy Pine St, and central enough to have Lyft within a minute. The apartment itself is well-designed, with hooks just where you need them, extensive closet space, and full washer/dryer facilities as well as ironing. The spiral staircase is tall and, well, winding, not my favorite feature, but like the whole place it works. We left happy and would stay here again.
