Our best ever visit to SF, and we have been at least a dozen times. This is an excellent location for getting to the best of San Francisco, even without a car (but if you do have a car, which we did, you can get parking in front of the house). Get the Muni app for you phone, buy your tickets as you need them, and you will be able to take advantage of light rail, street cars, cable cars, and buses that are all features of an integrated transit system. The nearby light rail has trains that arrive approximately ever 6 minutes during commute hours and every 10 minutes during non-commute hours. You can be to the Ferry Building in 10-15 minutes after catching the train. The house is very comfortable. It is well worn, but in good shape. The three bedrooms are all good size -- only one has a closet, the other two have wardrobes -- and one has an ensuite bathroom. The second bathroom is off the main hall and is the better shower. We chose the room with the ensuite bathroom and coordinated morning showers with guests when we had them, which was about half the month we stayed. We had up to two couples visiting at a time, and it all worked very well. (If you rent a place in SF with rooms for visitors, you may well have more than you bargained for. We did.) The kitchen is well equipped with a lot of pots and pans, knives and spatulas, and a drip coffee maker. We had a bit of coffee on hand when we arrived, which was much appreciated. There is a sun porch with a table for 6 in the back of the house. It is cozy, but works just fine. There is also a side board for passed items that more than fill up the table. We found the backyard a great place to have a bottle of afternoon wine with guests. It is protected from the ever present breeze that keeps things cool. You will need coats at times, not just jackets and sweaters, but the afternoons seemed to always be very pleasant. There is a Safeway, which has a large parking lot, and a Whole Foods nearby. We had a lengthy stay and mostly shopped at the Safeway, which has a good produce section and a discount on liquor and wine if you buy a six pack. Join their rewards program for additional discounts, which can really add up. If is within walking distance, but we found ourselves stopping with the car because we were buying bigger quantities than we could carry easily. The neighborhood has many excellent small, inexpensive restaurants. Like many others, we found the Grind on Haight an excellent place for breakfast, and we also thought the rotisserie chicken from Palmyra a great find. We put together our own salad with Palmyra chicken for several great meals. The 4505 Burgers and BBQ on Divisadero has...
