This place is really great! Clean, comfortable, and very well decorated, with all the amenities I needed. The hosts were very helpful. The house can get warm during the daytime hours, but there's always a nice cool breeze to let in by opening the windows (I was there in mid-June). Great view of the surrounding hills from the sun deck. To be totally honest, BART does run nearby (until 9PM, I believe) and the occasional noise from the train may be bothersome for anyone who likes to go to bed early, and the house is at the top of a hill so you'll need to be aware that you'll drive up a fairly steep incline and cars are parked on both sides of the street, allowing only one car to travel on the street in either direction. Not the owners fault, just for your information. Fortunately, traffic is always light around the neighborhood, so I never had to encounter oncoming traffic on the same street.
The neighborhood is about 30 minutes away from the most popular attractions in the northern part of SF, and those 30 minutes might seem like forever when you find yourself stopping at almost every intersection and crawling up steep hills. So plan your outings accordingly. Though the distance is a (small) problem, the home makes up for it in cost, comfort, and style. Check out the pictures! It's hard not to love this place. And perhaps the owners know more about how to get to places more quickly; I relied on google maps to navigate and it often took me over some wildly steep hills and through dense neighborhoods to get where I want to be. (Side note: it's probably a good idea to use public transit to avoid the extremely common car break-ins in SF. Since we rented a car to travel between LA and SF, we wanted to make sure we get all our money's worth out of it, but it's risky to park literally anywhere in SF if you have even just a crumb on the seat of your car because someone WILL break in and take it.)
One last thing to nitpick: although the place can sleep 6 people, there is only one bathroom so that might pose a problem to some families. I'm sure it's already stated in the listing, but I just wanted to share that that situation was a little less than ideal for our family of 6. Otherwise, it is a beautiful bathroom with an excellent shower and an elongated toilet---you just can't take your time in there with a full family.
Overall, I was really happy with the place. SF is a wonderful place to visit, and as a result, you may have little luck finding affordable places closer to the action. This home is close enough and really worth it.
