Philips apartment is a great place if you're planning to stay in the San Francisco area. He's a great host and provides everything you need for a wonderful stay. The apartment is super big and well-equipped.
The metro/train station a solid 30 minute walk away and we enjoyed walking through the neighborhood, but for someone, who doesn't like to walk too much I recommend getting an Uber.
We can totally recommend staying at Philips place and would come back anytime!
