Pros:

Great location, staff were really friendly & apartment had everything we needed.

Cons:

It was really hot at night, as we were on the top floor. We had a fan but still really hard to sleep.

Pros:

El millor de tot ha estat el personal tan de recepció com de suport. En tot moment ens han informat aconsellat i atès de forma excel·lent. Un 10.
És una edificació antiga molt ben conservada gràcies a la tasca que realitza tot l'equip de manteniment i neteja.
La ubicació també està genial, amb el cablecar davant mateix i al costat de Union Square.

Cons:

Res a dir.

Perfectly Poised on Powell
Pros:

Everything was perfect and was quiet value for Nob Hill neighborhood

Cons:

First call was rough, and gave me a weird first impression of an outstanding property. Helen the general manager was wonderful 💯 as was Alice and Oscar at the front desk for checking in and out.

Friendly family place
Pros:

We had a very comfortable stay for our family trip. The 1+1 studio layout provided great flexibility, and the room was equipped with everything we could possibly need. The kitchenette was particularly helpful and well-appointed. Additionally, the staff were incredibly kind and friendly, providing prompt service whenever it was needed. Highly recommended!

Cons:

The only downside was the lack of AC. The ceiling fan was helpful, but it unfortunately stopped working. However, this wasn't a major issue as the weather wasn't too hot. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

Comfortable stay, decor a bit dated
Pros:

Central location was all the amenities needed.

Lovely place, great location
Pros:

A wonderful place to stay in a great area. Our one bedroom apartment was really clean, comfortable, spacious & well equipped. There's a lovely quaint reception area which was filled with beautiful fresh lillies & decorations for Easter during our visit. Staff are friendly & helpful. The cable car goes right past the door & if you can manage the very steep hill, it's a short walk to Chinatown, North Beach, Union Square & Financial District. Highly recommend a stay here.

Pros:

Great location on Nob Hill with car rental place and on 2 cable car lines for ease of getting around. There is always a concierge to open the door, so the facility felt very secure. Rooms were spacious.

Cons:

Older building, so does have a bit of musty smell in the hallway. It is on Nob hill so a bit of a hike up from union square.

Top Lage und sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Pros:

Top Lage und gute Ausstattung im Zimmer. Liegt in der Nähe zum Union Squaire, sowohl zu Chinatown und Little Italy. Zudem direkt an einer Cable Car Station. Kann man für einen Kurztrip nach San Francisco nur empfehlen.

Would definitely stay again when in San Francisco.
Pros:

The location was excellent, not far from the centre and plenty of restaurants near by.
It’s an old building but it gives it charm, the apartment is well furnished, modern and comfortable.

Cons:

The shower had been mounted far too high for a short person like myself and it couldn’t be adjusted. I ended up having to have a shower holding the shower head, not a massive problem but a bit inconvenient.

Pros:

Zona centrale, staff cordiale. Il servizio di ritiro e riconsegna auto era eccellente anche se un pò caro.

Cons:

La stanza dava sulla strada e sembrava di non avere delle finestre. Potevi sentire letteralmente la gente che camminava sotto la stanza. Il divano letto non è dei migliori e risulta abbastanza scomodo.

Very clean, comfy, and cozy. Perfect for a week stay to use the kitchenette.
Pros:

Location was right in between Chinatown and Union Square with the cable cars passing right in front. Was in a great spot if you wanted to travel around and see the city.

Cons:

There were ants in the bathroom but nothing too crazy.
