The apartment was exactly as described. The location is a fantastic home base for touring San Francisco. Michael provided a number of helpful recommendations; we tried a few places he suggested to eat and loved them and greatly appreciated the places he suggested to look for parking the last night when we had a rental car. The place is well equipped. We didn't use the small kitchen but that even seemed to have everything you might need to cook a simple meal. Michael was also *very* responsive when we had questions or problems.
However, a number of minor annoyances prevented me from giving this place 5 stars. It was unseasonably cool when we visited and we weren’t able to get the apartment warm enough to be comfortable with the heater until the last night when outside temperatures were higher. The second night we plugged in the small space heater to try to help warm it up a bit but it quickly resulted in a tripped breaker. Michael responded immediately to my text and helped my husband find the breaker box. We tried plugging in the heater in the bathroom but that also tripped a breaker (the same one) and we just gave up on using that. The drain in the shower is very slow and after a 10-minute shower we were standing in 1+ inch of water and the doors to the shower were prone to coming off the track/were difficult to open and close. The cable tv didn’t work; we checked all the connections at Michael’s suggestion, couldn’t find anything wrong and didn’t bother pursuing it further. It’s possible we just missed a cord that had been disconnected. The internet worked fine when we first arrived but stopped working after the breaker tripped. I tried resetting it but didn’t reach out to Michael for further assistance because I didn’t want to deal with it; I just used my phone as a hotspot to check in at work instead.
