Filp is a really easy going guy. He blends perfectly with the hippie neighbourhood. He lives just above the apartment so its easy to get in touch.

We stayed for a week at Flip's ground floor apartment and overall it was a pleasant stay. The place is spacious, nicely furnished, with good heating for the cold nights. Bed is comfortable, so is the living room sofa. Excellent wireless internet connection, I used Skype on my mobile without a hitch. Cable TV channels could be better. Non-issue since we watched TV/movies via internet on out laptop anyways. Great big fridge, gets a bit noisy when its working. Toaster and coffee maker is really handy for those hungry cold nights. Would have been perfect if the place comes with a washing machine/dryer. Also, like Flip mentioned, the walls/ceilings are really thin. We could occasionally hear people walking and vacumming from the ceilings when we're sleeping. Dosent' happen often so no big deal.

Neighbourhood is so accessible to amenities. Good food all around, just check Yelp. Also check 'Off The Grid' for food trucks nearby. WholeFoods is 5 minutes walk. Bus-stops all around if you're planning on taking the Muni. We rented a car for the trip and if you try hard enough, you can find free overnight parking along Waller Street or further down at Buena Vista Avenue.

Good value for the price. Overall a pleasant stay!
