We loved our stay with Ponge- we had the whole basement level to ourselves, the bathroom was right beside the bedroom. Everything was clean and neat. Ponge was an amazing and friendly host. He provided clean towels, bottled water and fruits when we arrived. Bus 24 conveniently takes you to Castro and Mission (about 15min bus ride), and from there you can take the muni to pretty much everywhere. Uber and Lyft are cheap and great options too. We took an uber to Ponge's for about $25 and it was about a 15-20minute drive. A nice, safe neighbourhood with friendly people. Highly recommended!
