We enjoyed staying at Art & Syl's suite. It's really quite large and the independent full kitchen is very convenient. The deck is also a great place to hang out, weather permitting, with the very nice scent of redwood. We stayed there with our two girls in November 2012, and Art and Syl were very helpful, but also very discrete, we had full privacy. The heater is a bit noisy, but you can heat at night with either the electric space heater and/or the heated mattress :) (we had to put the central heater on because of our kids). The location is good, of course if you are not wanting to stay in the busy areas of Downtown, Northbeach...It is a great base to find out about a more "real" SF, the Park, the Beach, but public transportation is easy (direct to downtown) and will take you anywhere. We had a car and did not have trouble finding parking everyday. There is not much natural light in the suite, at least in the winter, but it did not really matter since we were out all the time!
