I had an enjoyable stay at Helen's place. The private room was spacious and clean, and there were plenty of shared amenities I could use in the house, including a washer and dryer. I felt safe in the area as a solo traveler who relied on public transit to get around. The house is a 3-minute walk to the nearest light rail station and a 15-minute walk to a mall with a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Target. It was a convenient and safe place to stay in during my trip to SF!
