Highly highly recommend staying with Irinia and Greg in this amazing North Beach location. My mom and I were able to easily walk all the way through Chinatown, around the wonderful North Beach area, up to Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Ferry building. Extremely easy to catch buses to further-out places like Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, the Mission District, and the Castro. Our room was the perfect home-base for making our plans and that Electric Blanket was a lifesaver after long days in the January chill. Our hosts provided us with clean towels, internet access, cups and plasticware, a hairdryer, and even a chocolate bar. Even with guests staying in the other room the duration of our stay, we never had any issues getting into the bathroom. The showerhead is a little short (I am 5'4" and had to duck a teensy bit), but if that is a deterrent amid all of the amazing pluses about this place, you're nuts :) The neighborhood felt very safe at all hours of the night and our room door even locked for extra security. If you are looking for the hands-down best value in SF, you've found it!
