If you’re looking for a comfortable place to stay with a host who is very responsive and incredibly generous, then you should definitely stay at Renita’s! I arrived fairly late at night and was surprised and relieved that she had plenty of groceries in the place and invited me to eat what I wanted. I stayed there for a week and was very happy with it and with all my interactions with her. The studio was clean and quiet and the little garden space was a nice additional touch. I was even able to park my electric car in the garage and plug in! It’s a more residential part of town but there were grocery and other stores around within a ~10 min walk. I had a car so I don’t know what public transportation access is like, but it’s super close to Golden Gate park (another perk) so I imagine there are lots of transport options.
Highly, highly recommend!
