It's a great location, just a block or so from the Duboce St/Noe St stop on Muni's Judah line. If you're taking BART from the airport, go to a muni connecting station and switch to muni's Judah line. It's a short ride to the stop, but a bit of a long uphill walk with luggage from BART. The room is small, but the TV is big. There are two friendly dogs who aren't out when the hosts aren't there. You have everything you need and the shared shower wasn't an issue at all for me. The bathroom is spotless and your half-bath is too. Just a small window in the room for a bit of light. No view. I was there in February, and the city was a bit damp and cold for me. I should have asked for a space heater, but snuggled up in the bed instead. All is accurate in review. For me it usually all comes down to location. If this area works for you, it's a good choice.
