Van Ness is a busy road so there is some traffic noise. I'm used to busy urban places but if your a light sleeper might be a problem.
Lots of restaurants and bars in this area on Polk and over in North Beach - cheaper than the overrated Wharf. They have wi fi internet it is spotty but there's a kinko's just a few blocks south on Van Ness with wi fi and plenty of p.c.s I've seen some people complain about this place. Well you pay for what you get - which suited my needs just fine. If you want ameneties up the wazoo pay big bucks for the Hyatt, etc which in SF are insanely expensive.
Great safe location, near Marina, North Beach, Wharf. close to cafes, bars, has parking
