Communication with Yael is great. We had a blast. While public transportation was easy to get to on most days we just used Uber to get into the city. It was fast and easy and with a group of 6 the value was not bad. We loved the spaces in the house and it was great having the family hangout and play games. There were stores and pubs so close! We talked about a pub crawl down town and end up doing right in our own neighborhood. If you want a great view into the city, consider walking up to Telegraph Hill one evening. It was awesome for the New Year Fireworks.
