My wife and two children (ages 10 and 11) stayed here for a week and we thought it worked out really well. The apartment has nice bedding and towels, plenty of dishes, utensils and spices. Books for kids, plenty of space with a big clothes closet. We rented a car for the weekend for trips to Muir Woods and Palo Alto and had no problem finding parking on Saturday and Sunday night when the street parking rules are more flexible. Returned the car and bought the MuniMobile pass to take the bus and cable car the next 5 days. Mostly used the cable car by walking up to California street and then a few blocks east. Fillmore Street right around the corner has all kinds of bakeries, restaurants, grocery, pizza, etc. Japantown nearby. Owner provided really nice list of suggestions.
