“In my opinion, the strongest asset is definitely its address right across from Ocean Beach and a short hop to Golden Gate Park; essential amenities and free parking deliver fundamental value for those on a budget. The tram stop nearby also makes jaunts into central San Francisco fairly simple. This is a straightforward base for enjoying the outdoors.”
