I had a nice time here and Aaron was very helpful. The reason for my score is because the price is way too high for what you get. Below are pros and cons.
Pros:
1. It really is a quiet house.
2. It is on the N-Judah line and many bus stops are nearby, so it is very easy to take public transportation wherever you want to go.
3. It is very close to the park.
4. The neighborhood is safe and there are lots of cute restaurants.
5. It is not too tourist-y.
Cons:
1. There are no sinks in the bathroom. You have to use hand sanitizer or wash your hands with the sink in your room.
2. The entire house (around 12 residents) has to share one regular-sized fridge and one mini fridge.
3. We are not allowed to use the oven.
4. The water pressure is very very low. Showering wasn't terrible, but filling up a water bottle in the sink could take several minutes.
5. You can hear the sounds of the train whenever it comes by, although I got used to it and it didn't bother me.
6. The in-unit laundry is very expensive. 25 cents buys you one minute of washing, and many loads take more than 40 or 50 minutes, so with drying it can easily run you more than $10-$12 for one load.
7. I'm not sure if the place gets any regular cleaning. It felt generally kind of dirty, although not completely unsanitary.
8. My room was very small. I don't think I could have worked from home there, although everybody has different preferences.
I enjoyed my time in San Francisco, but I was out of the apartment most of the time on purpose.
