John was very flexible to accommodate our midnight arrival. He had the house cleaned up and the bed made which made it very convenient for us to just go plop down. John also had stocked up the kitchen with essentials and even put a local beer in the fridge.

The neighborhood is much safer and has much more of a residential feel compared to China town, Civic center and Tenderloin. The area also felt much safer and cleaner than the others. This is definitely not in the middle of the bar scene at SFO. But this puts you in < 2 mi to almost all important sites in SFO. This area does not require a parking permit. So if you have a car, this is a very good option. You should be able to find a spot within a few blocks.

The apartment itself had a nice unique feel to it. And the way the house is, it felt like we had a private entrance to the apartment. The ship models were interesting and gave the apartment a unique character.
