We spent eight days at Dawn's, and the apartment was even more striking and comfortable than we expected, especially the wonderful garden views from the living and dining areas. The garden itself provided a peaceful retreat. The beds were extremely comfortable, separated by a cozy alcove, and for an older home, the shower and sinks worked well, and for cool mornings the living room heater helped. The decor was vibrant and artistic, as advertised, but also restful. Given the house is a block away from fairly busy Monterey Blvd., it was extremely quiet. We had a car, so getting around was quite easy--a mile from cute Glen Park (with the excellent Canyon Market for gourmet foods, and several fine restaurants), right near the 101 and 280 freeways, ten minutes from the Mission and 20 minutes drive to downtown. The beach is also a 10 minute drive. Parking in the evenings was a bit of a challenge, but Dawn let us use her driveway for several nights when she was away. Public buses were right around the corner. Dawn was extremely helpful both at check in and throughout our stay. She responded to texts almost immediately. We will definitely stay at Dawn's affordable and charming apartment when we visit San Francisco in the future.
