Basement apartment. Be prepared to walk up the 'hills' to get anywhere. Very clean and cozy spot. We heard the sea lions from the back yard, and pier 39 is in sight. A simple kitchen, we didn't use it much except to make morning eggs and toast. The showerhead is shorter than average. The price of space is great for value travelers. Large closet space and cozy room. All in all an excellent spot for a getaway stay. The only thing better would have been a bed and breakfast.
