I traveled alone (first solo trip) and was beyond happy with this selection. It was my first time in the city, and I really lucked out. This spot is so close to everything; I walked to hip coffee shops and through Dolores Park every morning, and suck in a few ice creams at the local spots. The fun Castro bars were also just so close! The house is so close to a MUNI stop and BART stop; perfect for a traveler looking to use public transportation (which I recommend, it saves loads of money.)
The hosts welcomed me with open arms and kindness, really such wonderful people.
