This rental is just as described - quiet and in a residential neighborhood. I had to have surgery and used this as my place to recover. Shannon and her daughter were super supportive and very quiet housemates. Shannon went above and beyond by buying extra ice and providing me with a proper icepack to help with swelling after the surgery. She also provided extra pillows and rags. The location is ideal for anyone having procedures at the many UCSF medical facilities - located between 15 and 20 min away for most of the locations I had to go to for testing etc. It's also very close to Ocean Beach and the very nice strip of West Portola, which is a 15 min walk away and has great restaurants and shops. If you are concerned about sharing a bathroom, they made it as easy as possible and I found I almost never had to wait. Overall, I would say this is an ideal location for someone who wants to be away from the noise and hassle of downtown.
