Apartment pictures!!!
So, let's start with the exterior. Here is 95 Hancock St. It is a 3 story house, broken up into 3 separate apartments. The landlords live on the top floor. The people on the middle floor, I haven't met, but someone snores pretty loudly and I can hear it sometimes at night!
From there we move on into the house. To the direct left is Mari's room. Mari is one of my roommates. She's been in SF for about 10 years from what I gather and she recently sold her half of her dog walking/pet sitting business to her partner. She's from Sweden, and totally looks it too!
To the right and up a couple steps is the living room.
It's fully equipped with a fold out couch, TV, bookshelves, chairs and a view. I like it because it's cozy. That's Amanda, my other roommate sitting on the couch studying for her license exam. She's a therapist/social worker who's been in SF for about 4 years now. She's originally from NJ and she also owns a Bianchi! (we rode bikes today). The only strange thing about the living room is that our windows are at street level, really really really close to street level. One side of the house is on a hill, so literally it is about 6 inches from the tar.
If you walk into the living room, to your direct left is the 'blue' bathroom. What you can't see is a mirrored double closet opposite the sink.
Ok, so the other direction after you walk in the door, past Mari's room on the left is the hallway which takes you down to the two hallway closets (on the right) 2nd bathroom (on the right), my room (on the left), Amanda's room (straight) and kitchen (all way down on the right).
Here's the "pink/brown" bathroom with claw foot tub!
Seriously with all the bathroom space, I sometimes feel a little cheated with my 10x10 room.
Here's my room...I painted the walls Victorian yellow, or so it was called, and it has a nice golden tone to it. I think I spent a full hour at the paint store hemming and hawing over what color I wanted to go with, but it was worth it because I am pleased.
So this is looking into my room from the hallway. You can see my bedspread and queen sized bed that I acquired. I got it off craigslist and got a deal. Basically paid half of what I would of had to pay for a brand new full sized bed. It does take up a lot of room, but I think it's worth it, and it's so much more comfortable then my old IKEA mattress! You can also see my green bureau find, also off craigslist. The woman I bought it from is pretty sure it was hand built, and it definitely looks like it. It has really fun lion face handles and I lined it with some vintage inspired black and white flower vinyl stuff. 
On the other side is my desk, some shelves I just put up this weekend and a little cabinet thing. All from IKEA.
This one is looking back into the hallway
Then there's the eat-in kitchen, which I think is a decent size with good counter space.
That little door on the right is just a mini storage area with the hot water heater. Then if you walk through the kitchen to the left there's the laundry area.
Then....the backyard zen garden! This one is looking out from under the deck stairs at the cottage out back. We share our laundry facilities with the woman who lives there.
Our landlords own a flower shop I believe so they like to take care of this area. It's basically for everyone to enjoy that lives in the house.
Well, that's all I got. I hope you enjoyed your little tour! Come visit soon :)

Good find christine. your new place looks like YOU not just a random place you found to live. mari and amanda must be cool.
Dude, that's right near the Mission Delores from Vertigo. Do you visit Carlotta's grave often?
That's terrific... I want a zen garden. That place really seems like a quintessential Frisco dwelling, though of course I've never been... yet.
That's funny, I had no idea what a San Francisco apartment would really look like or be like, but I guess I found one! I think it helps that it's at the top of a hill too.
