If you have a car, it is great place to stay and visit dowtown of SF and surroundings. Norman was really nice guy, nice communication. House is clean, rustic in some way but we really like it. The prices are higher than other places in US (even NYC was cheaper for us) but we could not find anything cheaper than Normans house (if you do not want to live in motel). Close to the bay, you can hear wildlife from the living room ;) We can recommend Normans house for everyone.
