9/10 Wonderful! (83 reviews)
Excellent host with great communication. The house was comfortable 3/1 with brand new windows and a small but cozy backyard. The rental also included off street parking. Close to various restaurants and grocery stores. Made it easy to eat for the week I stayed. I would definitely recommend it.

Didn't really stop in S San Francisco other than to join with friends for dinner en route between Auckland and Missoula. There are some good places to eat near the hotel.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Whilst the hotel was great, there is very limited dining options close by, none within walking distance. Hotel bistro was good.
