We had a wonderful time in San Fran and Shulamit and Boris' spacious accomm made our time there very special. As they advised, their home is up in the hills and most days started off misty tho give it time and that blue Californian sky always delivered. Wearing layers was necessary out and about and a car for us with a teenager and pre-teen was ideal for exploring trips into the city, the beach and countryside. Shulamit provided lots of info on tourist attractions and public transport.
