Annie was extremely welcoming when we arrived. The room we stayed in was really nice. The apartment is about 5 miles from downtown San Francisco and using public transportation (BART, bus, etc) we were able to get downtown to see the sites pretty quickly. If you are looking to be in the heart of downtown San Fran, you may want to look elsewhere, but for a quiet getaway not in the center of the hustle and bustle, Annie's place is great.
