This is a lovely space. Renita is very kind and had welcoming food and such for our arrival. She does live upstairs beyond a closed door. It may not be perfect if you want 100% privacy, but she did not make us feel like we had to worry about her living upstairs at all. The location was amazing for us. The N line Muni train is one block away. In one direction, it goes straight to the beach. In the other direction, it goes straight downtown to transfer stations that allow you to hop any trains to every other area of the city. The park is 1-2 blocks away for hikes, strolls, etc. The only reason for any lower star would be for people who don’t like public transportation or taxi service. You need those to get downtown, Chinatown, the Castro, etc.
