If you're looking for a San Francisco experience that is far from the crowds and you want some peace and reflection, this is a great place to stay. This was a beautiful space in a quiet, safe and well-maintained neighborhood.

The garden portion, which was always next to me, had a wonderful zen about it. The space was clean, tidy, simple and open.

This was a solid deal compared to what people were paying for hotels during the week of the conference that I was attending. Because I wanted respite on a daily basis, this was a good fit for me.

I believe it has been mentioned in other posts, but this place has some distance to mass transit options (e.g. bus and train). I mostly used Uber during my stay, but took walks to Philz coffee and the Whole Foods area, which has several good options for dining around it.
