This is a nice, clean, quiet place in a fairly residential neighborhood—it's not "trendy" by any means, but there are plenty of great restaurant options and public transportation just a block away on Geary Blvd. My wife and I and our newborn daughter stayed here for a few days and it was perfect for our needs. I have family that lives in the area (the Richmond district) and can definitely see us staying in Joe's studio again the next time we visit them.
