"The room was exceptionally clean! Our room faced the street, and the end of the train turn around. Although we were facing the street, the noise was minimal. A few steps to the right of the hotel there is a coffee shop with excellent coffee/pastries (very clean). It is facing the beach. The atmosphere is great. To the left of the hotel, there is Judy's restaurant. Great tacos!! Very tasty. We walked on the beach and bike/ped. area and felt very safe. Will definitely book hotel again in the future. Parking is included, which was great!!"

Spacious SF Haven: Cozy Bedrooms & Modern Kitchen - Safest neighborhood in SF

10/10 Excellent
"LOVED it!! We had a great time, the house is lovely, spacious, and comfortable. Amazing temperature control, water pressure, dishwasher, wifi, closet space and hangers, everything The neighborhood is completely walkable, safe, quiet, and a short/reasonable car to any neighborhood. I had no issues but the host is super nice and communicative. Unlike other share homes, they provide a ton of towels and liquid hand soap in each bathroom! It was such a treat to not have to buy things like hand soap, dish soap and cups. Also great coffee machine and a fancy breville espresso machine I was too timid to attempt to use without barista skills. We didn’t end up bringing my dog, but the house and outdoor space (plus the park) would have been perfect.I’m also a huge germaphobe and the house was clean! And the water is really nice - I often have trouble washing my hair when traveling but the showers are great and the water is not hard or chlorine-y."
