Pros: walk to pretty much all the main attractions in half hour or so. Lovely walk to the opera house via the gardens! The loft is as advertised with a New York"ish" vibe. The neighborhood had a SOMA/Castro feel for those familiar with San Francisco. We enjoyed our week here. Sabrina was easy to work with and super helpful.
Cons: if you have trouble with stairs there are a few floors to tackle with your luggage.
