My wife and I stayed in this apartment for about a month when we first moved to SF, while we were looking for a permanent place. The real highlight of this apartment is the location and proximity to public transit. The main corridor for the Muni trains and BART (under Market St.) is a about a block away (closest stop is Van Ness). So it is very quick and easy to get just about anywhere, and a short walk to restaurants and shops in the Mission, Hayes Valley, and Little Saigon neighborhoods. Because it is close to downtown, parking is very difficult and expensive (we ended up leaving our car out in the Sunset, where with a modest effort, one can find free street parking for up to 2 weeks). Aside from moving our car from one parking spot to another every week to avoid street cleaning (watch those signs!) we never drove anywhere and had no problems getting to and from work, running errands, going out, etc.

The unit is a garden apartment, about 5 steps down from street level. There is just one small window opening onto a small courtyard, but there is sufficient overhead lighting to compensate. The interior is minimalistic but newer. The kitchen is good for warming up leftover takeout, but the small hotplate is not powerful enough for serious cooking. Bathroom is small, but functional (and again, seems pretty new). The host was very accommodating, and even let us forward our mail there while we were moving. There is coin laundry in the building and a laundromat ~1.5 blocks away if you want to run several loads. We had no problems checking in or out, and the landlord refunded our full security deposit after we checked out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others. If you are looking for a central location, well-connected to transit, and cheaper than many of the hotels around, this is a great option.
