Miriam's place was cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to "live like a local" in SF -- a lovely residential neighborhood, apart from the regular tourist spots but also easily accessible to them. The apartment is tucked beneath the owners' home and does provide privacy, as the listing promises. But you can hear the owners' muffled voices and footsteps upstairs so there is definitely a feeling of being right beneath them. This did not bother me, but some guests might not like it. Miriam's home is a good value for the money and she was a communicative and friendly host; I would recommend her listing to other travelers!
