15th-Floor Luxury With Views of Downtown and The Bay

See the Salesforce Tower lit up at night from the floor-to-ceiling windows of this immaculately appointed property, which comes with a large walk-in closet plus rain shower. Music lovers will appreciate the acoustic guitar and electric keyboard. Please note that this residence does have belongings in the closet. Ample room has been reserved for guests. Modern luxury apartment with amazing views, especially at night overlooking some of SF's iconic locations such as AT&T Park, the Salesforce Tower, and the San Francisco Bay. Inside the apartment, you have a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, queen sized bed with a down comforter, a large walk-in shower with rain shower head, and living room with a big screen TV to access Netflix/Hulu or Chromecast. The entire apartment is open for guests to use, but keep in mind there will be clothes hanging in the closet and some personal items as this is my home and not a full-time airbnb. Most of the time I will still be in the city and will be available if you need anything or have any questions about the area/apartment. Step just a block to reach the famous Market Street, while within 5 minutes is Hayes Valley, filled with hip shops, cafes, and bars. A longer stroll or 5-minute MUNI ride will reach the iconic ferry building for water-borne trips to Sausalito. 5-minute walk to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium 20-minute walk, a 5-minute drive, or 12-minute MUNI to Moscone Center 10-minute MUNI to Salesforce Tower Located within one block is BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) which is the underground train and MUNI which is comprised of an above-ground rail system and busses. You are also able to have Uber/Lyft pick up right outside the building. However, please be sure to double check with the driver that they are dropping you off on 9th street and not the back alley (Laskie). Sometimes GPS will put a pin on Laskie street instead of 9th. There are multiple parking garages around the building and one in the building that is $30 a day and subject to availability. The city, especially SoMa is very bikeable if you were to rent bikes and explore around Market street.
