The flat is exactly as described and is well appointed and furnished. The location, albeit on a super steep hill, is perfect for exploring San Fran, especially the Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach districts.
However, the flat is noisy. The neighbour's upstairs aren't loud but you can hear everything and it can be disruptive. The flat is also dark, with it being a basement flat.
We never met Nikolas but he was very accommodating and he communicated with us well.
