Great area. Just across the street from Golden gate park. When the weather's good, it's a wonderful place to walk/hang out. Japanese tea garden and art museum were within walking distance, and the N line subway/streetcar takes you right downtown. We had a blast. Everything was clean, they greeted us warmly, and the free laundry was an unexpected bonus after we dipped our feet in the pacific, and needed to wash a few things before packing.
