We stayed at Ellen's rental in the Russian Hill/North Beach area for four nights in February. Ellen was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She met us out front at 10:30 pm on our first night and gave us a quick tour and the keys. The apartment was very nice and clean and perfect for two people. I enjoyed it much more than staying in a hotel. The location is very close to Fisherman's Wharf and the neighborhood has many bars and restaurants close by. We walked to a lot of destinations and took a Lyft to the destinations further away. The wait for a Lyft was typically two minutes. There is a very nice, private garden but we did not use it because it was a bit cold when we were visiting. The neighborhood feels very safe. I felt totally comfortable walking to the Walgreens that was a couple blocks away by myself at 9:30 or so in the evening. I definitely recommend this rental - we didn't have anything negative to say.
