Chani's place was just as advertised. It was in a quiet, residential area, and close to public transportation, the beach and Golden Gate Park, which is beautiful! We drove everywhere, and it was a 15-20 minute drive to the various neighborhoods we visited. Street parking is free--it was sometimes difficult to find a spot. The apartment was spacious, with a really nice kitchen area and bathroom. Chani was always responsive to any questions I had. We would definitely love to return!
