Sam's place was an excellent base from which to see San Francisco. We stayed over memorial day weekend, part of an 11 day trip that included a wedding at the other end. There's a lot of stuff within a few blocks, if you want groceries or dining, or Golden Gate Park or Haight-Ashbury. You don't need a car, so don't get one - the Muni rail and buses run a block or so from the house, and with Lyft too, we were fine when we didn't feel like walking. Sam was honest and helpful in answering questions we had before we booked (we asked about how many stairs, since we had one person who has heart issues and can't do too many stairs at once). The flat is light and airy thanks to large windows in the front and huge skylights in the center of it. Everything was comfortable and clean, and details such as basic toiletries and pantry staples are nice touches. The towels are thick and absorbent - I want some for myself! We enjoyed staying at Sam's place and would recommend it and if we come back, would check to see if it's available.
