Heidi's place is on the very outer edge of the Marina, close to the Palace of Fine Arts and within minutes of driving to or from the Golden Gate Bridge.
The neighborhood is super walkable with lots of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. It is not centrally located to downtown, so keep that in mind if you are wanting to walk out the door and be in Union Square, etc. Look on the map!!
My kitchen was cute and fully equipped to cook in, should I so desire.
The street (Lombard) is a main thorofare so on-street rooms are probably pretty noisy, but my apartment was in the back and totally peaceful. Decor is "tired" but clean and thoughtful. Layout is a bedroom with kitchen and eat-in area on one side, bathroom and shower (very clean!!) on other with closet in the middle. Walk up a flight of outside steps to your room as there is a parking garage under each unit.
Courtyard full of flowers, colorful and happy. The only drawback is that windows have blackout curtains but no privacy sheers, so your choice is to have folks across the courtyard always be able to look full-on into your room or have it be dark in there. I seriously next time will bring a twin or double sized super light lace curtain thing and drape it over the rod- problem solved, but I think if the hotel installed these it would be a great touch.
I'd definitely stay here again. For me the location was great and amenities good!
