Miriam's place was the perfect little hideout for us. I took my kid brother on a 4 day trip to San Francisco and was looking for an alternative to a hotel that had a more homey feel. The place is located in a quiet neighborhood but is still central to everything we wanted to hit (exploratorium, academy of sciences, etc). Miriam's explanation of the muni for public transportation makes it super easy to go directly downtown or most anywhere in the city from there. Miriam was very easy to reach and caring. She came down to check on us on our second day and was always available to answer questions both before and during our stay. Thank you for having us!
