The apt was the perfect locale for us. Close to all types of transportation. We didn't use a car once. We got a multi day muni pass and tracked all over the city. It was easy to figure out (Google maps has all the muni stops, busses, trolleys, times, etc). We walked from the apt to each stop to start our journey each day. Some real good restaurants in walking distance. We really enjoyed Union Larder. We did breakfast in the apt each morning after buying supplies at the local Trader Joe's. We had everything we needed in the apt to start our day. It was so comfortable and cozy. Would definitely return next time we're in town. We originally booked a hotel in Union Square, and didn't want to have to deal with the noise and bustle of the area. So happy we found Ellen's place.
