Heather made our welcome very warm (with an unexpected bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us) even though she was working when we arrived and was not able to greet us personally. The written instructions she gave for accessing the apartment were perfect. The kitchen had everything you'd need and the entire place was immaculate. We walked across the street in time to be on the beach for sunset - and then found our way to a little market to bring in supplies for dinner. The neighborhood has a very "beachie" feel to it. It is a hike to downtown and the traditional tourist areas, but there is a major street car stop two blocks away that provides access. We spent most of our vacation day in Golden Gate Park and at Land's End - both of which are very accessible via car. Parking is on the street (and is free), but we never had trouble finding a convenient place to park. We did meet Heather and her son on our second day, and they were both delightful. Heather was very responsive to our text messages, provided good recommendations for groceries and restaurants - and did everything to make our stay perfect.
