Yann's place is nice. Small room with the added den gives you a place for luggage and other needs. We booked last minute so we had to wait until about 8pm to actually check in so the place could be cleaned but this worked out okay for us (went to see friends in Oakland in the meantime). I would recommended getting in touch with him first about when to check in. Takes about 20-25 minutes to get to Downtown/Union Square/Pier 39 but we got an Uber for $18 (Monday night). We did run into a small issue with the parking. We parked across the street from the residence and got a ticket for the street sweeping occurrence. Unfortunately we parked directly behind the sign and didn't see it. Just keep a close eye out for ANYTHING they might ticket for because if they can they will! Otherwise really quick and easy experience at Yann's place. Would definitely recommend for someone passing through SF!
