Ellen's apartment is well situated in North Beach, in a lovely and quiet neighbourhood. It is a short walk down to Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown. We discovered a number of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. The place itself was very clean, and included all the amenities we needed. The patio was perfect after a long day of exploring the city's sights. The bed was as comfy as any hotel bed. Communicating with Ellen prior to our trip was easy, allowing for a seamless arrival and departure. We really enjoyed our stay at Ellen's apartment and would highly recommend it!
