This is a great place to stay in San Francisco -- the interior has so many curious and decorations that there is always something new to discover in a corner or on the wall, Connie's guide book is informative and thorough, there's plenty to do in the area (one of my favorite places was the Mint Karaoke Lounge), and great access to public transportation. It is also very easy to get from here to the airport -- after you get off the train it's about a six-eight minute walk.
