Emily is a pleasant and attentive host. I like being in the sleepy Richmond District and close to the Ocean but you are quite far from Downtown, many buses to take you there though. There are also nice shops and cafe on Balboa including a cinema.
I found it hard to properly relax in the room due to noise from the room next door, above and the garage being louder than I'd expected. There's also limited natural light. However the space is a clean and a practical base for short-terms stays. Emily kept me stocked in fruit and was prompt dealing with my concerns.
