We (me plus 4 of my friends) stayed at Ian's apartment for a week and really enjoyed it. Check-in was easy and Ian was available during our stay if we had any questions. The apartment was as it was described online and clean. The kitchen had basic equipment, which was more than enough for our purposes (we only had breakfast and then ate out). The neighborhood is safe and quiet and San Francisco and other cities are within a 30-60 minute drive (most of the time there was heavy traffic). I would definitely stay at the apartment again and can recommend it for groups traveling on a budget.
