Cindy's place was perfect for our stay; we wanted something away from the hustle and bustle of, but still convenient to, the city. The neighborhood is quiet from traffic.
It's a quick walk to the L line muni (light rail), inbound, which can literally get you to stops that will allow you to get anywhere else in the city that is near the rail.
Cindy's amenities are simple but appreciated! Coffee, tea, a few snacks, etc. She also has books about the city and the area, in case you come with no idea what to do!
