We had a great stay at Maury's apartment.

The pro's:
- spacious and cozy apartment (the Japanese doors are a great touch)
- calm neighborhood
- good location if you have a car: easy street parking and very close to the highway (which you can hear well from the street, but not at all from within the apartment)
- very good bed
- great rain shower

One thing you should consider however is the location. While I'm convinced this is a great location to be living in San Francisco, it is not the most central location from a tourist point of view. The apartment is located on a hill, so it is 142 stairs up/down from/to public transport. The BART is 20 minutes walking. Muni (bus) stop is closer, but during the day the Muni is quite slow to get downtown (traffic!). So do expect quite some time walking and on public transport to get downtown and to Marina district. On the positive side, this apartment brings you to a very nice district (Mission) you might otherwise not discover. A good alternative would be to use Uber, but this is difficult if like us you do not have mobile internet available. So just be aware of this, but the apartment is certainly worth it.

Contact with Maury was fast, easy and no nonsense: we got all the information we needed. Check-in was with a key in a lockbox for which we got a code in advance, which was perfect as it gave us maximum flexibility to arrive when we wanted.
