Anna is one of the most good-hearted people you'll ever have the chance to meet and an outstanding host. The house is about as far from the heavily tourist-impacted areas of SF as you can get. I personally think that's a great thing. It's adjacent to Golden Gate Park and the museums; a long but rewarding walk to the Golden Gate Bridge; with public transportation very close for the more sedentary. The house itself is a marvel of decorating that evokes the feel of San Francisco.
