I came to SF for an internship, and was very comfortable staying with Laura & Larry. My room had a nice view, and had easy access to the kitchen, although I could sometimes smell people cooking. Bus stops were close by, and I used them every day to get to work with no problem; three bus lines 14, 14R, and 49 and BART close by. The area seems pretty safe overall, and there's even a few restaurants and shops nearby. Larry was very kind and maintained the house very well. I made great friendships with during the other tenants during my summer, which made the experience unforgettable (don't be shy and talk to the other tenants!).
