We had a very pleasant experience. The apartment is just as described by the host and other satisfied reviewers. It was nice to be within reasonable walking distance of so many great restaurants and shops in the Mission District. Being so close to BART makes it easy to explore other areas of the city. Even though the Mission District is a busy area with street people all around no one bothered us. The alley was quiet and well lit with very little activity. We were comfortable and felt and safe. Although there is no street parking we were able to pull over and unload our luggage and take it to the upstairs apartment without being in anyone’s way. The paid parking garage is very close and easy to access. The inside of the apartment was very clean, the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and blankets. The electricity, plumbing, and central heat all worked well. The kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of light filters through the blinds and skylight during the day making it feel spacious and light. You may need a sleep mask to block the street light at night. Phyllis has taken great care to make the apartment hospitable for travelers.
