A lovely traditional apartment in a great spot near the Fishermans Wharf cable car stop.
My room had a desk in a bay window overlooking the street and cable cars so when I had to work I was still getting a SF experience. The small downside of this for me was the constant background noise of the cable cars. Not the cars themselves but a jangling kind of hum that doesn't stop until the early hours. And being a single glazed Victorian property there's not much sound proofing from this. But saying that it's a small price for being in such a good location.
Pats cafe below is great for breakfast and lunch (I recommend the Nutella crepes with fruit).
The hosts were very welcoming and helpful with arrival and departure as well as advice on things to do. They do have a young child who during my stay was waking in the night. I have kids myself so it wasn't a problem for me (in fact it was refreshing not to have to get out of bed when a child's crying) and I was usually awake anyway due to the jet lag plus I'm sure he'll outgrow this soon. The property is a taste of classic San Francisco filled with books and art.
The location is great not just for the cable cars but also to walk down the Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39. There is plenty to do down here including the boat trips to Alcatraz and hiring bikes to cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge (and get the ferry back).
There's a shared bathroom but access was never an issue.
