The owners, two San Francisco writers, also provide a personally-written guide to the neighborhood, including their favorite restaurants, 4 great neighborhood walks described in detail, stores and services, suggestions for kids, etc.
Despite being in the very heart of the city, the apartment is very quiet, peaceful and safe: you can hear the cable car bells ring as you relax in the patio. There are excellent restaurants and a market half a block away; a charming sidewalk cafe recently opened on the corner. A major shopping street with everything, Polk, is a block and a half away. A 24-hour supermarket is four blocks away. Gorgeous parks, including Lafayette, Huntington and Alice Marble, are found in all directions, none more than a 10-minute walk away. The spectacular Crissy Field, the restored crown jewel of San Francisco's northern shoreline, is a 45 minute walk, a 15-minute bike ride or a 10 minute drive away. Street parking is decent (no meters) and a reasonably-priced parking lot is three blocks away. Public transportation is excellent.
