A lovely clean, dry and tidy two bed with a good kitchen and bathroom and a baby change room to stash cases, laundry etc. or do the ironing in, access to a rear garden and handy for transport into the City. Like many SF places, parking is an issue so think carefully before you hire a car - we had one for three days and parking it was a hassle. WiFi and cable TV are both good, cooking facilities and dishwasher are ace and Mr Coffee has a new jug (yes I broke and replaced it), and there are good facilities locally:
- Andronico's is the local Whole Foods type supermarket - quality, but expensive. About four/five blocks away, ten minutes on foot absolute tops. Interesting stores in between, especially the little Japanese place
- There's a launderette on 11th & Irving that's very good
- The dry cleaners on the corner (out of the door, look right, other side of the road) is great but not cheap again
- Jenny's Burgers on 9th towards Lincoln are exceptionally good
- ATMs, post office & pharmacy all on Irving between 9th & 10th
- The N-Judah MUNI goes from 9th & Irving, get the app on your phone and buy tickets through that. It goes all the way into town and even to the AT&T Park if you're going to see the Giants. There's an N-OWL service too, which runs all night
- Golden Gate Park is literally five minutes away on foot and has some *wonderful* things in it... I recommend you start with the De Young museum and the Japanese Tea Garden and go from there. Suffice to say everywhere has an entry fee
Only one very minor issue - the garage door is noisy and will wake you up on day one when it's opened at 6am! You get used to it, and we were sleeping it though it by the end - but that's the loud grinding noise.
