In SF to visit family for two weeks, I cannot say enough good things about Lazar and Elisa's place. My hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive. The location is in a lovely quiet, safe neighborhood that's an easy walk to a small shopping center with grocery, pharmacy, bank, etc. I cannot speak to public transportation because I only ride shared during my visit. The accommodations were homey, spotless and very comfortable. Everything you might need was there-books on SF attractions, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, plenty of extra towels and bedding and various extras like chargers, games, etc. I will definitely stay there again.
