Excellent location in North Beach. From the airport, we took the BART to Embarcadero Station and caught a taxi from outside the Hyatt Hotel. We were very pleased with the neighbourhood - the apartment is on a quiet side street with lots of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Although you share an entrance with the host, this main floor apartment is private. The bed is comfortable. The living room has a projector and a big screen, which was a nice surprise. Peter was very welcoming and helpful. He provides a binder with recommendations for local restaurants, bars and activities (e.g. bike rental, comedy club, live music). Peter also woke up early to drive us to the airport for our 8am flight home. The $50 was well worth the peace of mind. We would happily stay here again for our next visit to San Francisco and have already recommended it to friends.
