We ended up in Glen Park and out of the main tourist areas mainly by booking relatively close to our travel dates but man are we glad we did! It was lovely to be in a real neighbourhood and Glen Park had all the basics you need (including amazing coffee, friendly restaurants, a bakery and a grocery store). Proximity to the BART (a pleasant 10 minute walk down hill) meant we could get to the what we wanted to easily and the Glen Canyon park offered nearby nature and amazing views. The kitchen was reasonably well appointed for basic cooking and mattresses good quality. The owner lives downstairs which makes him handy for questions or problems; not a problem for us but some people may be bothered by being able to hear him through the floors. We would definitely stay in Maison Swiss and Glen Park again.
