I'm going to SF in May. Any B & B recommendations? Thanks. I've never been there before.

Google or yelp:

Willows Bed and Breakfast or the Parker's Guest House.

It's not BB but cheap...check Twin Peaks Hotel.

I am sure there are more out there.

What kind of activities are you planning to do?

Betty, I rarely hear of B&Bs in SF, but there are many small inns. What area do you need to stay in?

Small inns are fine. I'd like to stay in or as near to where the most "life" is (gay bars and establishments). Would that be the Castro? I don't even know.

Castro Inn that's in Castro Street- walkable to everything and near a public transportation when we went to San Fran last June- we took public transpo everywhere, even to the airport. I highly recommend this B&B!

The Willows Inn is a terrific B&B. Great location, nice rooms. Check them out:

The Castro is definitely ideal, not just because it's a great neighborhood, but also because--as Jaystarr said--you're right on the Market St. bus line which will facilitate visiting many of the tourist spots. You're also within walking distance to many other interesting neighborhoods, if you're a walker.

I stayed at this B&B within one downhill block right to the Castro! You cannot get any closer. Price was right, owner was nice and every morning he made a very nice fresh cut fruit plate for breakfast. Was like staying with your grandfather in his Victorian home...keep in mind that the Wharf etc is over a 20 minute ride on the street car. Other than that - it was great. If you plan only to frequent the Castro and the bars there - then this is the perfect stumbling distance away.

If you want a good priced hotel - not fancy. Stay at the Grant Hotel right on Bush Street on Nob Hill. This is within one half block walk to the Powell/Mason Cable Car. Even though the Whelan B&B is nicer - the location of the Grant Hotel is more of a preferance to me primarily for the public transportation and central location. Both run about $100 a night. Grant Hotel you get your own bathroom too.
