I had a lovely stay at the Tilden Hotel during my recent visit to San Francisco. The boutique style of the hotel really gave it a unique charm that I appreciated. However, while the staff was incredibly accommodating and the location was convenient, the neighborhood did have some rough areas that made me a bit uneasy during my walks. 😊
