Gene's place was a perfect location for our family during our recent vacation to San Francisco. It was in a safe and quiet neighborhood with stores and restaurants within walking distance. It was also within very close walking distance to the beach, where we were able to utilize the running/biking trail. It served as a convenient starting and ending point for our various daily sightseeing activities. Our two teenage kids also liked it. I would recommend Gene's place to anyone looking to visit the San Francisco area.
