Anu is an excellent host, he picked us up from the airport (for a fee), gave us a guided tour of the area and took us to the local supermarket before taking us to the apartment.
The apartment is self contained - on the ground floor in the same building as Anu and his family who live on the top floor. It was very clean, well laid out and fully equipped, with two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen/dining/living area. It is a short walk down the hill to shops and some great restaurants - we walked it up and down for first few times but then started to get the bus back up the hill as it is quite steep - but this is San Francisco so it is to be expected!
It is not very central but easily accessible by lots of different transport options, we preferred to make the short hop out of the bustle each evening to relax in a calmer environment. It is also close to the beautiful Golden Gate Park and the beach, both well worth a visit away from the main tourist attractions.
We took the Hornblower Classic Cable car hop on hop off tour (48 hour pass $55) which passes through the park, so each morning we would walk to the park, jump on the bus and be whisked across the Golden Gate Bridge in a converted cable car - absolutely the best way to start a day of sight seeing in San Francisco.
Highly recommended
