San Francisco holiday apartment

This is a great apartment in Noe Valley (Castro and 24th Street)- beautifully furnished with great artwork. My wife and I and 2 kids spent 3 nights here because we thought (and were right) that it would be more relaxing than a hotel room. The small garden was the perfect place for sharing a bottle of wine.
The only small downside is that the front bedroom gets the noise of the street with some traffic from around 7am - however not a problem if you want to get up and enjoy SF. I always managed to park my car within 1 or 2 blocks. Buses and trams are available to take you into town about 2 blocks away. The agent whom I dealt with when arranging the lease was very co-operative and willing to be helpful.
Now for the best bit. This apartment is on 24th street near Castro and is in a really cool neighbourhood for bars, retaurants (American, Italian, Spanish, Asian, South-American and more - no fast food outlets in sight), boutique-type stores, coffee-shops (Starbucks and fantastic local ones), a wonderful cheese store, great wine stores. It feels like a proper neighbourhood, and is clean and friendly. We started and finished our days on 24th street with a trip into the heart of SF during the day.
As an Englishman living in Houston, it was great!
