I can't emphasize enough how wonderful Ryan's place is. We have lived in this neighborhood (Mission) for 4 years and rented this place for our parents to stay at to visit when our son was born. We loved it so much that after our parents left, we moved in with our baby for 5 more weeks! We had looked at several apartments 4 years ago before so we are aware of properties in the mission, Ryan's place is outstanding. Big, open, bright, beautifully decorated, extremely clean. The location is unmatched - you will be right in the heart of the mission and a couple blocks from Dolores park. The back patio is large and wonderful to sit at with a view of downtown, very unique in that there is no building directly behind. Communication with Ryan was easy and efficient. If you get cleaning, Esther is great - respectful, wore a mask, and cleans the place wonderfully. And the parking was really helpful as street parking can be a nightmare in this area. You should definitely stay here if you are coming to San Francisco.
