Great location to the BART (train station). Some streets are less desirable to walk down than others but there is a really close Trader Joe's where you can get most supermarket stuff and the Market Hall just next to the train station has everything you would need for a awesome gourmet dinner + the best coffee in the area. Erin gave us plenty of privacy. Would suggest to stay a few nights and then head into San to stay closer to the action as it can be a little daunting travelling at night.
