Thuy's place is great if you are looking to avoid the tourist hot-spots and live, shop, eat with the locals. The Mission district is a fascinating mix of cultures, not too far out of the city center. We bought 7 day Muni passes ($45 from Walgreens on Market St) and were able to negotiate the bus system easily. Thuy's list of things to do proved invaluable and we followed it to the letter (even ordering her recommended ice-cream flavor!) We enjoyed everything San Francisco had to offer and would also recommend the Canyon Market near Glen Park BART. Thuy is a lovely, friendly, helpful and non-intrusive host and we would love to stay with her in the future.
