This apartment worked out great for us. The two bedroom apartment gave us a lot of space which we needed as I was working part of the time. I loved the wrap around deck and the view of the city and the water. The location was great. Really close to the piers. Just a few minutes walk to the restaurants, Pier 39, etc. Anything that might catch someone off guard, we were expecting so no surprises. This is a single apartment on top of a very old motel (Wharf Inn). There really isn't much of a lobby and we communicated with the staff through a window. Not an issue and they were always helpful. The parking was easy and behind a secured gate that was closed at night. Super convenient that National Car Rental is right next door. The elevators require a card go up to the third floor The stairwell to the apartment is right next to it, so you walk up one more flight and you are at your front door. The apartment itself was good for us. It was updated but still felt aged. Lots of windows. The AC is a portable unit in the living room. My family is really picky about AC and we were fine. There is one bathroom with both a tub and shower.
The deck wraps around three sides of the apartment. It primarily overlooks Mason street which is a side street so you may see homeless. That's just Fishermans Wharf these days. You can see the hills of the city with Coit Tower, the Transamerica building, etc. Look the other way and you can see the water. You are on a roof top so there is roof on one side of you but I liked the deck and sitting out there looking at the view. Loved having the 7-11 right across the street. Made it easy to grab stuff quickly.
All in all, this place worked great for us. Thought it was a great value. Its so much nicer to have a living room, dining room, and kitchen for family gathering versus multiple hotel rooms.
