Paul's place is fantastic. Spacious, great open layout, amazing views - the photos give an accurate representation. But they don't convey the spectacular location or character of the building. The staff and residents we met were extremely friendly and welcoming. It's near so many great places - restaurants, shops, galleries, an easy walk to Downtown or Nob Hill or across the Burnside Bridge to SE. Though the neighborhood farmer's market was over, it was an easy walk for the Wednesday and main Saturday markets, and well worth the visit. Paul's recommendations are excellent, and communications were great. The space has lovely art and an extensive library. The experience for the price beats any hotel hands-down.
A couple other recommendations for visitors:
If you're interested in cocktails, Teardrop Lounge aroudn the corner makes the best I've ever had - balanced & artful.
If you're into beer, Deschutes Brewery down the street is as great a spot as any to dive into one of the dozens of local microbrews.
Nuvrei bakery & cafe on 10th (among Paul's recommendations) is fantastic, and supplies many of the other local coffee shops.
Ken's Artisan Bakery, at Flanders & 21st in Nob Hill, makes amazing breads and pastries, and is an easy walk.
It's worth a stroll across the Burnside Bridge to visit Doug Fir Lodge - a really unique space.
