My family and I found this space to be comfortable and warm. I traveled with my 2 teenage boys and we were able to relax and enjoy the amenities of the condo, when not in San Francisco. It was very easy to get on the highway and get to downtown San Francisco, about 25-30 minutes (we rented a car); I would advise to prepare for the fog and a longer "ride back" from DT- longest was 55 minutes. We did not have time to explore the areas just south of Pacifica, except for the Safe Way. The store had good quality fruits and veggies the meat however was tricky- packaging is the same for both "organic" and "non-organic", my organic chicken was rotten and very overpriced (7 bucks a pound). We enjoyed these restaurants: Breakers Cafe, Raymond's Excellent Chinese Cuisine, Viva Italiano and The Boulevard.
Down side to this unit is on a very busy corner of the neighborhood- buses, trash haulers, and locals begin the day around 630 and maybe 830 on Saturdays. If you plan on visiting the beach it's at your own risk- rip curls and high tides make it rather non-recreational. We did find Ocean Beach to be more calm, but it is about 10 minutes away. My sons found their room to be rather "tight"- beds are separated by 18 inches, so one ended up on the living room floor. The other room had a "small" queen bed (meaning it's really a full). If you can book unit above, I was awoken by snoring occupant just above me one night. I was disappointed that the patio wasn't really an option for use; it's a long narrow extension maybe 2 feet deep- 2 people have to awkwardly sit to enjoy, that is if the spiders don't bother you.
All and all, I would recommend this place if you don't want to spend all day in the city and want to have some time relaxing at "home".
