Rani's place is the bottom floor of a home, with a separate entrance and off-street parking (abeit pretty narrow). As it's in a residential neighborhood, off-street parking is also available. Check-in was a breeze, as there is a lock-box for the keys. The place is huge, with a sprawling layout. The front door opens into the master bedroom (appears to formerly be a sitting room and faces the street), which is connected by french doors (curtained) to the "great" room that has a large sectional sofa (could double as a sleeping area, although there isn't any bedding provided), the dining table and a full kitchen. There is a twin bed tucked into a corner of the great room. The bathroom is down a hall off the great room, and it's huge, with a spacious shower and a separate bathtub (with showerhead) and containing ample flat space on the deep window sill to store things. The water pressure is great, with lots of hot water. (For those with mobility issues, note that there is one step down into the hall leading to the bathroom.) We never actually met Rani (although I believe we heard her walking around upstairs), but she was super responsive to questions, and check-out was also a breeze (just leave keys in the lockbox). She kindly offered for us to store luggage after check-out in the garage because of a late flight, but we didn't end up needing to do that. We enjoyed the coffee pods, pita bread, and the chocolate bar she left for us. Trader Joe's, a mini-Target (with groceries), MacDonald's and more restaurants are in a shopping mall about half a mile away, if you get hungry. It's a 5 min drive but wouldn't be a very fun walk home (uphill, and crossing busy streets). Rani's place has a full kitchen, but you'll want to bring some staples (e.g. salt, pepper, sugar, oil) if you actually plan to cook--we mostly ate breakfast and used the microwave to heat ready-made meals a few times, as we were in SF to see the sights (and tour San Francisco State, which is less than a mile away). The Wifi worked great. TV viewing was a bit challenging (as it was on the dresser in the master bedroom rather than in the great room--the sectional couch actually faced a blank wall), but we weren't there to watch TV, either, so not a major deal for us. The neighborhood is very quiet at night for sleeping, which is key and much appreciated. For very light sleepers, there is a moderate amount of commuter traffic that travels down the street in the morning, and you can also hear the Muni tram on occasion (the K-line stop is less than a block away, which makes access into downtown super easy), but we were able to sleep in by using earplugs. All told, we enjoyed our stay at Rani's place and would recommend it to others as a quiet place to base to...
