Very convenient location in Little Italy neighborhood. Safe and everything is walkable. It is an older cottage that could use some updating. We did not mind the quirks having lived in older homes in San Francisco, but just fyi. A cute dog park is across the street, with a gated off area for small dogs. The cottage is pretty much at the foot of the I-5 offramp like others mentioned. In general, there is a an unfortunate homeless situation similar to any big city but we never felt unsafe. We walked everywhere with our little dog, enjoyed Little Italy outdoor dining and had a blast at Ocean Beach dog beach which was only about a 10min drive away. We had a wonderful long weekend and appreciated the accomodation.
