It's difficult to find a location in San Francisco as good as Ava's Place with prices this reasonable. It has a lush hillside view, easy street parking, fast access to freeways to where-ever you want to go, and a world-class used bookstore (Bird & Beckett) just down the hill. The thoughtful hosts had prepared a complete guide to local attractions -- and responded to all questions quickly and completely. The room was very private, quiet and beautifully decorated, but fixing a few details -- like difficult shower controls -- would make it even better.
