Amanda's place is fantastic. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood above the fray, but close enough that you can take advantage of everything the city has to offer. A car isn't essential, we used both Uber and Lyft with very short wait times. If you drive your car, however, parking is pretty easy around her neighbourhood.
The home is also located near Glen Park BART, if you want to venture to the Mission or downtown. While it's possible to walk to BART, there is a decent hill in between Amanda's home and the station. For the adventurous, I highly recommend the steep up and down trip to BART via the footpaths through Billy Goat Park and the Amatista Ln footpath between Everson St and Bemis St. You will be rewarded with fantastic views on a clear day.
Amanda has taken the time to provide many of the essentials you may need, including a coffee maker and a mini fridge.
If you want to party all night, this is not the place for that, since it's a quiet little spot among families. But if you want a first class place to sleep and relax, I can't recommend it highly enough.
