We had wanted to stay in a less touristy neighborhood and this fit the bill. If you're there on a weekend, parking is easy to find with no time limits. This allowed us to leave our car and walk up Geary and Clement, which is a nice mix of older Asian and hipster shops and restaurants. It was also very quiet at night.
Our hosts were very nice and accommodating. The room is as it looks in the photos. The hot water and heating has restrictions, as others have noted, but they do say they would accommodate changes. We did have a very hard pillow the first night, but asked for a new one the second. The bed was very comfortable.
The only issues we had was a mildew smell, which we couldn't tell where it was coming from.
