My son and I stayed in Emily's Studio Apartment while touring several SF colleges and loved staying there. Even though the 101 is across the street, the freeway noise was minimal and the secluded feel of Bernal Heights was wonderful to return to after busy days. We climbed the hill in Bernal Heights Park, which was a short, hilly walk from the apartment, and recommend it for beautiful views of the city. The apartment was not fancy, but neat and clean. The kitchen was simple, but well stocked for basic cooking.
