We have stayed here more than half a dozen times...every time the place and area have been first class. The old Victorian home is three stories high served by an elevator but the stairway itself is very easy to use. It displays the features of the home...plush carpets, brass light fixtures and moldings everywhere.
The units mirror that image with comfortable furniture in the living room and bedroom...a full kitchen has all the items we use at home. So take the cable car after buying a week pass for unlimited rides....a 10 minute ride down California takes you to Trader Joe's a treat in itself if you have never been.
We shop there every week in San Diego and today ate pasta and spinach Farfalle from France. Three cheeses and a cream sauce all for $2.29...oh and a glass of Malbec that was $3.99 for the bottle and quite drinkable.....The Italian Fusilli has small tomatoes, basil and cheeses as well. All other choices are yours to explore...wonderful food from all over the world.
The Powell street cable car stops a block away at California where the other cable car stops....so use the two cable cars lines to go from the Marina Wharf building and their ferries across the Bay to Oakland etc. or all the way to Fisherman's wharf and Fort Stockton Park. A single cable car ride is $8 one way....but for about $45 get a weekly ticket for unlimited rides which also cover most of the bus lines...Take the bus two blocks away to Golden Gate Park, a great place to walk and explore for all ages, it is about 35 minutes on the bus coming up from Chinatown, which is only six blocks away.
Union Square is about seven long blocks down the hill on Powell and we avoid it. The nearby theater district usually has half price tickets to taste the flavor of San Francisco at night and is the same seven blocks away... Between the two cable car and bus lines you can get to almost 75% of the best of the City, the Fillmore district, Pacific heights...ride right by the crooked street and five or six more ethic neighborhoods. The Intercontinental hotel and Nob Hill are two blocks away. So the area is very safe and you can choose you level of urban excitement.
If we get the unit we requested it is on the first floor, opens onto a brick patio and garden surrounded by walls of the neighbors, like Europe. Otherwise, I will adjust price for the one bedroom facing Powell...bring your ear buds and we use a Rain app to hide the street noise if we want to retire early...Very urban and second floor but not as quiet as the Nob Hill unit. http://www.powellplacesf.com/
Ask all questions you may have...Thanks
