I stayed here for 3 nights while attending a conference in down town SF. The view really is spectacular, better than any I've had in the downtown hotels. The room was quiet, clean, and very comfortable, and seems to be the living room and dining room of the former layout, so it's much bigger than other rooms I've rented. The kitchen and bath are shared, but I didn't hear the hostess when she was up before me, so that worked out fine. The Muni (T ) was two blocks away, and an easy trip to my downtown convention at the Concourse Exhibition center. The street the house is on is of course at the top of a hill, and seems nice, but there wasn't much in the way of restaurants, although I did find a coffee shop one morning. The Dogpatch area and Bernal Heights are near by neighborhoods where I found great restaurants if you are looking for non-tourist places. For this trip, I didn't rent a car and went soley with public transportation, but if you have a car it looks like there were spaces near by most of the time. Except for down town, you can usually find a place to park within a block. Just make sure to look at the street cleaning signs and times, or you might get a ticket.. I brought home take out food one night, and it was nice having use of the kitchen, although all I used was the microwave. The kitchen seemed to have all the usual cooking items. There are also two resident cats, which I had hoped to see more of, but they turned out to be shy. I did coax them into the kitchen in the morning, but they seemed to prefer their own rooms. Overall, I very much enjoyed staying here, with the city lights at night and the sun coming in in the morning. I slept well on the comfortable bed, and had easy access to down town. I hardly ever saw my hostess, but she was pleasant and helpful with how to get around. I would stay here again.
