The location of the apartment is great. It is on a very busy street which makes it easy to take any kind of transportation to the eastern part of town. It also makes the place a little noisy at night but nothing that earplugs (kindly provided by Merkley) could not fix. The apartment is comfortable and has its own personality with a really neat decor. The fridge was full of goodies when we arrived which was much appreciated after the travel and in the morning for breakfast. Merkley is a great host and has been in communication with us regularly to check that everything was going smoothly. I definitively recommend this place with a great personality, perfect to discover SF.
