If you are looking for a local and authentic experience of San Francisco, this is the place you want to stay. The location is very safe and convenient to all public transportation, but you could also spend your trip just walking the neighborhood, as it has everything you could possibly need (great cafes, restaurants (Kate's is a must for breakfast), bars, parks and shops). You'll feel at home in Billy and John's eclectic and comfortable space and if you are lucky enough to have time to chat with them, they will enlighten you about the city and their own fascinating history. I can't say enough, don't hesitate, just book now and prepare yourself for a wonderful and memorable trip.
