Craving a little brain food? Indie theaters and galleries add a dash of culture to the menu.Close to FiDi, SoMa, and The Mission, this convenient downtown location is in the heart of The City. There's the Warfield, Pianofight, and Black Cat for music, and Popson's burgers and Mensho Tokyo are just around the corner. This classic San Francisco building has high ceilings, is pet-friendly, and commuter-close to plenty of public transportation options.Genius comes in many forms, and most geniuses come to San Francisco. Our eclectic community of innovators, trendsetters and trailblazers is just as driven to play, as we are to work. You're one of a kind - and your home should be too!
