The house is beautiful, restored but maintaining old SF character. The view from the shared living area is perfect, I'd have breakfast watching the fog roll across the city in the morning. Everything in this place is clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated.
Potrero is hilly but still great for walking. I'd walk over to Plow to meet a friend for a delicious bfast, and Soma and the Mission are not far away. I prefer staying in this neighborhood when I'm in SF because it's quiet and has amazing views, but it's still easy to find your way into the city nightlife scenes.
