Joyce is a wonderful host, and her unit is very spacious and clean. It was also very well-stocked with supplies and healthy breakfast snacks. The deck is nice to enjoy on a clear day, where you can watch the sunset over the water. For the price, it's a spacious and clean unit.
The location is good, across from a college, but without a lot of food or drink options nearby. We enjoy walking, but had to walk quite a ways to get to neighborhoods that were fun to explore. It's about 4 miles to Fisherman's Wharf and 4 miles to the Golden Gate Bridge. Nice walks, if you're up for it.
Some things of note:
1. The unit is very musty. If you stay, you will want to open both sliders as soon as you get in to air it out.
2. The unit is listed as an entire unit, but that is not entirely true, because the host lives upstairs and she removed the lock from our unit. As a result, when you leave each day, you can't lock your unit. We noticed that the host entered our unit one day and did not inform us. This should be listed as a space within a house, and not an entire unit, because you cannot lock your space when you leave.
3. We could not feel entirely at ease or on vacation, because the host was very anal about asking us to care for her "mother's space". We had to remove our shoes before entering, and we we told repeatedly to turn down the lights and A/C when we left, and to care for all items in the unit (however, there was no space for us to leave our suitcases). As a result, we had to be careful and couldn't entirely relax. There were more "warnings" than information, when we checked in, which made our experience uncomfortable.
Overall, Joyce is a wonderful host (although conveyed more anxiety than desired when checking in on vacation), the unit is spacious and clean, but we would probably not stay again because of the items noted above.
