This is a great location if you don't need to be in downtown San Francisco. It's 4 blocks fro the ocean (you can sometimes hear the waves), just few blocks from Golden Gate Park and despite being a quiet neighborhood is just 5 minutes from a large grocery store and steps from a couple great Cinese restaurants. Lyft pick-ups were just a few minutes wait. Very friendly and helpful host family. Well supplied kitchen, very comfortable bed. Would definitely stay here again.
