Staying at Zack's place turned out to be exactly what we'd hoped for. We were seeking an affordable place with access to public transportation that was both near the beach (Pacifica) and San Francisco. This place was right in the middle, with easy access to both. The room was big, things were clean and comfortable, and the heater worked well (great on a cold weekend). Although there's a communal kitchen, we chose not to use it and thus had total privacy. We were even given a parking spot right in front. It was great - many thanks to Zack!
