To be clear, we came to San Francisco to sight see while trying different foods, and making a few key stops, while basically having a place to crash. That being said, Lainie and Charlie were incredibly helpful. They set up the place so that you can come and go as you please, and even have some very helpful amenities throughout the entire place! This is a very nice and quiet location, and trust me, if you're not renting a car, taking public transportation is seamless. There are multiple bus routes within blocks of the house that get you to various parts of the city within an hour. We did take a Lyft here and there, and the rides were 15-30 dollars. Taking the bus cost us 5 bucks for 2 people, and you get a 90 minute transfer to move between routes, which is more than enough time to get back to the house, or to an initial destination from the house. I can't stress how accessible and useful public transit was here. There are a few small restaurants within a half mile of the house, a convenience store a block away, and a drug store within a mile of the house. The useful amenities that were provided combined with the ease of access of public transit made this an amazing stay for us. We highly recommend this place to anyone coming to San Francisco!
