Myrna's place is a great option to stay in San Francisco!
I stayed with my girlfriend for a 3 month period and our expectations were met completely!
- Location: 25 minutes from downtown in bus (a bus stop 1 block away) or 20 minutes in bike (we did the city Ford bikes). The neighborhood is calm and quiet, although it has good restaurant options nearby. It's also close to Panhandle park and a few blocks away from Golden Gate Park, great spots for walks, biking, reading and enjoying the sun that sometimes comes to the city. It also has a supermarket half a block away which was super handy for us! It's a second floor apartment so and has good lightning during the day.
- Amenities: Myrna's place has everything we needed (and even more) to have an enjoyable stay. Kitchen utensils, sheets, blankets, towels, vacuum cleaner, floor map, etc. It does not have laundry room, but used one right around the corner. Myrna also shared with us an air mattress she had for a guest we had. (very comfortable mattress). Like most places in SF it does not has air conditioning (we had 2-3 days of intense heat in SF, that's why we realized about this); it does have heating.
- Distribution of space: a quite open living room, spacious kitchen, a bedroom for the bed and a regular bathroom. The living room has a comfortable couch and a desk. Kitchen has a table for 3. I agree with previous comments that it's a very comfortable place for 1 or 2 people but 3 would probably be a bit too much (if long stay).
- Noise: like said in previous comments, the supermarket logistics bring some early noise (trucks mainly). The new double windows set in the apartment pretty much eliminate this noise. The times where we lived the trucks noise where in the heat wave, where we needed to leave the windows open.
Finally, Myrna's hospitality was great. She was always answering questions very fast and since she lives next door, whenever we saw each other we had good conversations :)
Overall, i'd definitely recommend this place if you're planning to stay in SF for a good amount of time.
