This place is CLOSER to downtown than it looks! Only about 15 - 20 minutes....
For anyone staying a week or more, I recommend buying a Clipper Card at Walgreens nearby to access ALL public transit in the Bay Area. Riding public transit is WAY more convenient and cheaper than using a car in SF---a MAJOR headache EVERYWHERE there!
Very close to this accommodation are Muni stops for transit downtown by Muni OR BART. The Balboa BART station, the fastest way downtown, is only @ 5 minutes away by Muni [K line].
Also, BART is very convenient to/from SFO Airport...only @15 min. away.
Whole Foods Market, one of the best chains in the US is VERY close on foot, and one can purchase there, freshly prepared foods to take out, and microwave later---cheaper than always eating at restaurants...
For anyone desiring a clean, comfortable, and private accommodation---this is the place! I wouldn't hesitate to return and it IS on my list of favorites!
