In our experience, this is the best area to stay in if you want to experience all of San Francisco -- from Lands End to the public art along the Embarcadero. There is a light rail stop about 100 yards from the front door and, coupled with an occasional Lyft ride, you can enjoy North Beach, South Beach, and Ocean Beach. Wonderful neighborhood, too, with great breakfast option (Daily Grind), rotisserie chicken takeout from Palmyra, and many neighborhood bars, bakeries, and shops. Terry's place is beautifully set up with dozens of thoughtful touches. The potted plants on the small patio are not necessary, but they add an intimacy to the space that makes it very welcoming. The apartment is nicely appointed and has excellent natural light even though it is a basement, as it is above ground in the back. The kitchen is nicely equipped and has a small dishwasher. Plus, good internet -- is it possible to not do some work from home anymore, even on vacation? -- and a nice corner dining nook that can handle up to 4. It was just my wife and me, and we had plenty of room. In theory, you can sleep 4, but I think 2 adults and 2 kids are a full house. It is certainly an ideal space for a business traveler or a couple exploring SF. Parking is a hassle, but this is a "feature" of SF stays. It is manageable, and Terry did provide us driveway space when we first arrived.
