The Tenderloin: it's what's for dinner. Slice into the Tenderloin's prime restaurant and bar scene - the most eclectic in the city. Mexican hot chocolate at Un Cafecito, curry at Shalimar or late night Thai at Osha - you'll never go hungry or thirsty in the \"Loin.\" Order a handcrafted nightcap at Rx, Tradition, or Whitechapel or cheer on the keyboard jockeys at PianoFight. 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! From restored historic Pacific Heights Edwardians to rebooted Downtown classics, one online application is all it takes to unlock RentSFNow's premium portfolio of over 150 distinctive buildings. Iconic Charm. Modern Living.This unit is a rental unit subject to the San Francisco Rent Ordinance, which limits evictions without just cause, and which states that any waiver by a tenant of their rights under the Rent Ordinance is void as contrary to public policy.
