Phyllis's place was great for our quick trip to San Francisco. Because we know the area, we weren't surprised that this dead-end street gets some action, but it's worth noting for families that you're going to see some vagrancy, broken bottles, and some colorful excretions on your way to 16th. Ah, the mission! Once you get onto 16th though you're right in the heart of everything, which for us was totally worth it. Phyllis herself was wonderfully responsive and the place was toddler friendly, which we really appreciated.
