Everything about Ponge's place was as advertised. Ponge is a friendly, helpful host with plenty of restaurant and other suggestions. The room includes a new queen bed, which was very comfortable, and a private bathroom. It was quiet, so good for sleeping at night.
Ponge lives just a 1-2 minute walk from the main business section in Bernal Heights. We parked our car on the street outside his house, which we wouldn't do in all neighborhoods in San Francisco.
The only things to be aware of is that the front steps are pretty steep as are the inside steps down to room and bathroom. If you have any mobility issues, this might not be the best place to stay. But if you're open to staying in a nice neighborhood with easy access by bus or Lyft to the main sites (or nice long walks), Ponge's place is ideal.
