As others have commented, there is an extensive homeless population in San Francisco. There were 3 separate homeless people living & sleeping on this street & several others around the corner. None of them asked for money & all were passive. But this may be uncomfortable for some people. The apartment itself is quite safe & in the back with the only window the sliding door to the apartment. Raveevarn prides herself on a minimallist environment, but the kitchen was well stocked with yogurt, milk, juice, cereal, granola and some other groceries. The apartment is small, but there is ample closet space & you can bring chairs outside and sit in the courtyard. The area is close to a BART stop and to buses.
