We were very happy staying in Will's apt. He was accommodating and very friendly.
The living room/ kitchen area was bright and cheerful as well as very clean. The back porch was lovely. The neighborhood felt perfectly safe. The location in Noe Valley at the edge of the Mission worked well for us....great restaurants, easy access to public transportation, etc. The J train goes right by the house and can be a little noisy.
Also, do keep in mind that the family lives above the apt. and you can hear them when the kids are home. That said, my husband and I weren't bothered by the noise.....the thumps and bumps happened when we were awake and sometimes made us laugh. The nights are quiet.
Don't be put off by the entrance....its a step down along the side of the house and opens into a dark bedroom....and then you enter the charming living space.
We would definitely stay again.
