Our experience @ Rye and Robin's home is fantastic! Close to Bart and bus station(no 49 and 14 station are steps away, you can make full use of them, I think it's more convenient than BART), only two stop will take you to downtown. But it will be more convenient if you are going to explore mission district. There are lots of cheap but delicious food around Valencia street, just two blocks away. You can enjoy the different style wall graffity art by self-guided tour or attend the wonderfull free SF city guide tour. You cannot avoid the homeless on the street but most of them are harmless. It's part of the mission district, it's not perfect, but it's unique. Back to the house, exactly as the hosts' description. Your room is very large and clean, and you will have a private bathroom right beside your room (yes, you are renting an shared room but will have a private bathroom!). The kitchen is really cute (if you see it you will love it!) and you have access to the kettle, microwave and fridge (that's all I need~). There is a laundry available for use. During my five stay, I feel like home. Rye and Robin won't disturb you if you just want to mind your own business, but if you need any help they will help you right away. But just as the description emphasized, all rooms are located on the 2nd floor, you have to climb lots of stairs when you come back or go out, you should prepare for that. For us young girls, we regard it as exercise every day! By the way, the host subscribe lots of programs on TV, so you definitely won't feel boring if you come home early！
