Maury was welcoming and her detailed summary of her home and neighborhood were very helpful. This home was extremely clean and comfortable (the bed and futon were equally pleasant to sleep on). However, be prepared to wash your dishes and drink from the bathroom sink. There is a coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge, and toaster oven with plates, cups, and silverware available in this private unit. This home was a little farther away from the "action" of the city than we would have liked considering it was our first time visiting SF and wanted to do the tourist-y things. (About a 20 minute drive). However, if you are looking for a quiet area- this is perfect. This neighborhood was very hilly and curvy though so it takes a few times driving it to get comfortable if you're from out of town. If staying here a rental car was great to have due to the distance and Maury has a parking spot reserved for your entire stay which was wonderful. (prepare to parallel park on a hill though!)
