My wife and I were enjoying our first visit to SF and stayed at the Filbert Street apartment for 3 days and 4 nights. Pictures are accurate. Working with Sabrina was easy - we picked up the keys and entered thru a charming gate into the staircase and then to the apartment. As other reviewers state, the bathroom is quite small - but it did the job. The bed was comfortable and featured a TV w/cable that was positioned so you could watch it from bed. Closet was large so you could hang your clothes up instead of leaving them in luggage. Nice views out the windows. Small kitchen had everything we needed. Just an FYI, no washer/dryer. A little sitting room is also located at the front of the apartment.

Pros: Great location within walking distance of the Powell Line cable car. Great view east towards Coit Tower, especially at night - you can see the east bay (Oakland) bridge lit up with moving lights. It is a pretty easy walk down Russian Hill to the Wharf where we rented bikes and spent the day riding over the Golden Gate Bridge then down to Salsalito. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance, mostly towards the Nob Hill neighborhood. We also walked over to China Town. Rode the cable car everywhere else - get the three day pass and enjoy the ride. Please note, to ride to the Wharf, catch the cable car at the top of Filbert St. To head downtown, go up Filbert, take a left down to the next street. Good price compared to other options.

Cons: Could use a new coat of paint. Street parking is at a premium so better not to rent a car. The street is extremely steep - stairs on the sidewalks :) which we enjoyed - especially watching tourist start to drive down the street, then hesitate, then take the plunge, lol. But it is a safe steep. We rented a car our last day to drive to LA and I had no problem driving it down the hill and backing it into the little driveway to load our luggage.

Summary: We loved staying at the Filbert St. apartment and will use it again next time we are out there. Conveniently located and full of charm, this apartment and the surrounding neighborhood is a cool option while in San Francisco.
