Hayden's place is in the perfect location. You can basically step out of the house and find the best coffee, a grocery store and a big variety of restaurants within a radius of a few blocks. We even went to the shops and restaurants on Division and along Hawthorne without ever wanting to use the car.
The house is beautiful, airy and quite large, at least for our San Francisco standards. The heater works well (we were there in December), and it's comfy and cozy. The beds are extremely nice as well!
The only thing that was a bit of a let-down for us was that the kitchen is not at all well equipped. We came here as a family with 3 kids and nanny and wanted to cook about 75% of the meals at home, since it's often easier with little kids. Unfortunately, the home doesn't even have a toaster, or a vegetable peeler to name a few things. In Hayden's support though, he does make it clear that this place may not be the best for families. It didn't keep us from having a great time here - we just ate out more than initially planned. :)
Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Hayden's place, especially for friends who are traveling together, or a family with older kids.
