Both my boyfriend and I were visiting SF and we wanted a place that was within walking distance to the piers on Fisherman's Warf, China Town, Ghirardelli, and all of the other hot spots. This place really is in the heart of SF! Coit Tower is also right by Greg and Debbie's place and we really enjoyed being able to enjoy the gardens around the tower and get a 360 view of SF. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go and left our car parked in a lot near by. We parked our car at: North Beach Parking Services, Inc. on 65 Fresno St. It was $25 a day, but was the best deal close by with flexible early morning and late night hours. The lot let us keep our car keys in case we wanted to drive somewhere too and the car was not boxed in.
Greg is a very friendly and accommodating host and keeps his place very clean. He is very respectful of your space and has keys to give when you arrive so you can lock your bedroom, if you want, but we did not, and come in and out of his place as you so please. The place does not have a heating system installed, and I was initially worried given my low blood pressure, which makes me get cold very easily, but this was NOT an issue at all. And we were visiting in January, which is when it would be 'cold' for California/SF. Plus Greg has a heating blanket in the room you can use if you want and I loved it! Sharing the bathroom was also not an issue since it was always open whenever I needed it. I highly recommend this place and if I am ever back in SF, I will most certainly be seeking out this place and would love to stay here again!!!!
