Excellent location in the Alphabet neighborhood near the Nob Hill shopping and dining venues, with easy access to Washington Park with its hiking trails, zoo, memorials and gardens - all accessible by foot from ArtFulLife II. The beautiful one bedroom studio apt is perfect for a couple, spotlessly clean, well appointed and nicely decorated with the small collection of original works. Fred (the host) has great taste, a really classy guy who, judging by previous reviews and our experience, really works hard to take care of this place and his customers.
The only (minor) detractors was a tenant across the hall who kept the door to his studio apt open at times, such that I could hear his chatter on the phone now and then, but he was a pleasant guy, so no big deal. Also, some of the artwork in the room is of the masculine erotica genre, yet tastefully so - it is art after all - just to warn those who might be offended by it. Lastly, reserved parking will cost extra; however, I had no trouble finding parking on the curb down the street or around the corner - again, no big deal to me, as the neighborhood is so nice I enjoyed the walk to/from the car.
Fred, thanks so much for a wonderful stay! We wish we had stayed longer! We hope to be back same time next year!
