If you like art and music and appreciate artistic design, you will love this place. It is away from the usual tourist places and thus gives you a different perspective of San Fransisco - but is close enough to a bus and other transit that take you right downtown. Anna the host, is a fabulous person who offers great tips for good restaurants and knows a lot about the local music scene as she has contributed a lot to it. It's not a fancy neighbourhood, which was great for our family and it offers a lot of other great perks - like the Heron's Head Park ecological reserve about a 12-minute walk away which offers beautiful views of the bay. It also has some clear weather when other parts of San Fransisco has fog.
We loved staying here and will definitely be back.
