We only live about 40 miles from SF but we wanted a city vacation for the holidays to see family. Maria's place was THE perfect place for our family of 4. Each kid had a room, all rooms were spacious, and the living room / dining room areas were totally perfect for game playing and dining in. The neighborhood is so convenient to get to downtown, restaurants in the Mission / Media Gulch areas, as well as an easy uber / lyft to Brisbane for our Hanukkah party. I should note that I wear ear plugs so I can't comment on the noise level except to say I didn't hear a thing! We will return every year!
