We like the location of Joey's place, and in San Francisco you don't need a car. But we did have a rental and before our visit, my main concern was about parking. Joey was gracious enough to allow us to park in her private driveway. Later we also found out that actually it was quite easy to spot a street parking a block away. Anyway, we just walked along the beach (another short block away), and took the Muni-N to downtown. Very convenient. If you can walk far like us, you can reach the beautiful Golden Gate Park easily.
As for the room, it is as we expected. It is not small and it is well equipped, but there is no direct window to the outside (just a small one facing the front common entrance), and it is the first room all guests may pass along the hallway. We don't mind the settings and it was quiet enough with all guests well beavered during our 2-night stay. The room is very clean and the bed is quite comfortable. After your daily activities in the city, it is a perfect place to relax. The common kitchen is well stock with all facility and some snacks. We also enjoyed the backyard. Overall, it is a place well-worth the cost in a safe neighborhood for a enjoyable visit of the city.
