Sheila's place is walkable to the West Portal area. We got muni tickets, which you can now purchase online. From West Portal, you can get just about anywhere easily...even if you are not used to public transportation--it is very simple to understand. Plus with the muni pass, you can ride the cable cars as much as you want, getting on and off without paying $7 each time. We like being able to park in her driveway...versus the street. The bedroom is very large, and has plenty of drawers if you want to take things out of your suitcase. There is a large desk in the bedroom I used for sewing on a previous trip.
