I thought that the room would be in a somewhat industrial area, but for the price I was willing to live with that. It turned out to be a very nice residential area with lots of nearby amenities. Public transportation was easily accessible which I really liked. Once in the room, it was very comfortable, there were lots of little extras all over the place including in the refrigerator and in the cabinets. It was way more than I had expected actually. It was extremely quiet and private. I never saw the owner, but I did not need to.checking was very easy, residing there was very easy, and check out with very easy. It's just great. San Francisco has gotten so expensive, and this place Franklin was a bargain in many ways. I'd easily stay there again.
