This place truly did feel like a sanctuary, not that there was anything really to escape from. San Francisco can be a busy and bustling place but the neighborhood around the apartment was quiet, peaceful and very lovely. Knowing some areas in SF, I thought finding street parking might be difficult but I never had a problem no matter the time of day. Like other reviewers had mentioned, the apartment was incredibly spacious for a studio. That along with large windows, a great view, and plenty of California sunshine made utilizing the apartment as a makeshift office (I worked from my laptop during the day) a real pleasure. Norman was a friendly and responsive host, and did a wonderful job of designing and remodeling the space; I've stayed at "luxury" hotels which weren't half as nice as this place. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would absolutely return.
