Marcia’s home is great value for money if you’re considering visiting SF. The Balboa Park BART is a 20 min walk away - consider it your bonus holiday workout or just catch a bus there for $3. Eitherway it’s not that time consuming to get to the centre of SF (less than 10 mins as the BART is super fast and runs frequently). It’s also closer to the airport so travelling there is much cheaper (you could also get on the BART from SFO, there’s heaps of space for luggage don’t worry). I never really felt unsafe and happily walked around the area at night on my own with no issues (as in any situation practice caution and be alert). Other than that the place was very clean and my god the towels were so fluffy and soft!! There’s 2 large windows to let in the evening cool breeze on a hot day - I was never uncomfy. Bed was also reasonably comfortable. Marcia was also so wonderful - very responsive and accommodating to my arrival and departure needs (ie dropping off luggage/Flexi check-in).
