Frances & Dave's space is excellent! I stayed there by myself on a work trip for 3 days, then 2 other people joined me for a long weekend. The space can accommodate 2-3 people as long as one person is ok sleeping on a futon in the same room. Perfect for friends and families. Frances had snacks and breakfast laid out for us, and a binder full of recommendations and transit maps. Indeed, the house is about 2.5-3 miles from downtown San Francisco, so I ended up taking a lot of Lyfts, but it's also a nice downhill walk when going into the city. Coming back, you'll have to climb a huge hill, but that's a good way to burn off the beers from Anchor Brewing Co and the EXCELLENT food from Papitos Restaurant, which we went to literally every night of our stay (both within walking distance). We also rented a car from the airport and drove to Calaveras Big Trees State Park to see the Sequoias and rented bikes from Basically Free Bike Rentals (seriously good deal, look them up)! I'd recommend this place if you want to visit San Fran and stay out of the hustle of downtown. Dave and Frances were so kind and responsive. Overall highly recommended!
