So I FINALLY found it: the apartment I will call home!
After much searching and scouring the city (craigslist is a godsend) I am now a resident of the Pacific Heights (Pac Heights) neighborhood.
Wikipedia:
"Pacific Heights is located in one of the most scenic and park-like settings in
Northern California, offering panoramic views of the
Golden Gate Bridge, the
San Francisco Bay,
Alcatraz and
the Presidio. Its idyllic location provides a temperate micro-climate that is clearer, but not always warmer, than many other areas in San Francisco.
The Pacific Heights Residents Association defines the neighborhood as inside Bush Street, Presidio Avenue, Union Street, and Van Ness Avenue.
[2]
Pacific Heights is situated on a primarily east-west oriented ridge that rises sharply from the
Marina District and Cow Hollow neighborhoods, to the north, to a maximum height of 370 feet above sea level. The streets of Jackson, Pacific, and Broadway extend along some of the most scenic areas along the hill's crest. The section of Broadway Street extending from Divisadero to Lyon Street is known as the "Gold Coast." Pacific Heights features two
parks,
Lafayette and
Alta Plaza, each with spectacular views of the city and the bay. Easily visible to the north, for example, are the
Golden Gate Bridge, the
Marin Headlands, and
Alcatraz Island."
Not too shabby. Here are the pics:

| The split bathroom is nice. I like the magazine rack, but think the toilet paper roll is a bit high. Maybe people back then (the building is from before 1930) had super long arms. |
