This is a good value for money place. Elizabeth and her singing husband are very welcoming hosts but as previously mentioned, cleanliness is not their forte. Anyone who is very sensitive should not stay with them, especially if you do not like cats. It is a nice and safe neighboorhood, with Whole Foods 5 minutes away being the highlight. The room is nice, overlooking an romantically unkept garden. We had our own bathroom which was nice and Elizabeth made us coffee in the morning. It is an about 20minute walk to the BART station but it is otherwise a good location to escape the hustle and bustle of San Francisco.
