The apartment works well - you are definitely staying in someone else's apartment that lives there full-time, so expect that. It's a little rough around the edges and while the location is great, the area is rough - it's the Mission District so expect noise, homeless people and general craziness. But, that's the appeal of the area and it's definitely vibrant and a good place to stay if that's what you're looking for. Andrew as a great host, easy communication and no issues with checking in and accessing everything I needed.
