Great space and location
This is a very nice one bedroom unit. The main room has ample sitting and a decent sized table for dining. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped. We ate breakfast there every day and had our family over a few times for dinner. There are more than enough plates, glasses, pots, pans and utensils. There is a one cup Keurig and a two cup Mr. Coffee. There is no heat in the main room, but ta small heater instead. The bedroom is large with ample closet space and baseboard heating. The bathroom is fine with a good tub and shower and enough hot water. There are separate faucets for the hot and cold, but they are easy to adjust, and there is plenty shelf space for your toiletries.
Two things to mention. There is a small step that separates the main area from the bedroom and bathroom. The owner has placed motion sensitive lights in these areas, but we did miss the step once or twice. The laundry room has a much larger step, which you really have to be careful about.
The kitchen cabinets are petty high; not unusual for SF. The owner had provided a small stool, which does the trick. I am 5 foot 8 and has to use the stool to get at the plates, which are on the second shelf up.
FYI there is only basic non-HD cable. So no DVR and a so so picture. We were there for a month so I brought my Roku along. Luckily the living room TV had a spare HDMI. But hey, I wasn't there to watch TV.
The owner is very responsive. On the few occasions when we needed help she texted back immediately. Her husband has terrific handyman skills so issues like plumbing get handled expeditiously,
The location is great. The place is one block from the J train, which can get you into town in very short order. There is a a neighborhood grocery two blocks away, a Wholefoods about 15 minutes away and a Safeway a somewhat a longer distance (Mission and 29th) . You can take the Muni J to that. We are walkers and enjoyed strolling to 24th street or over to Valencia, which has tons of shops and eateries. There are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes walk. The Muni 24 bus is a few blocks away (26th and Noe) and that will take you down Castro and cross Haight at Divisidaro.
If you plan to use the, download the mobile app and set up an account before you get there. You can enter the bus or train through the center door and just show you cell ticket in the unlikely event an enforcement officer enters. You can buy cable car tickets the way
