I had a terrific time at Annie's Ivy Covered Cottage in Jul 2014. Its in a great area of town, just steps away from trendy hotspots with easy access to downtown and buses. Annie keeps the place very clean, she's quite a cook and makes her guests totally at ease. For lack of a better word, this is a 'sanctuary'. Peaceful and serene, after a day out in the hub-bub I felt like i wasn't in the heart of SF at all. I would highly recommend renting Annie's place to all future explorers of SF.
