If you choose to use Sharon's place you will not be disappointed that's for sure !! As first time visitors to San Francisco we were not sure where to base ourselves when we looked for accommodation. What we did know was that the closer you search to the City the more expensive it becomes and so when we found Sharon we discovered the best of both worlds, value for money and great access to the City!. Sharon's place is just around the corner from the centre of West Portal which is an up and coming area of SF complete with a variety of eating establishments which we tried and very much enjoyed.
The Muni (Metro or Tube if your from UK) is also just around the corner and provided very speedy access to the City and Harbour (15 mins). A senior ticket for all day use was $2.50. We used the Muni every day to get to the harbour, piers and open top bus tours. SF is clearly a very popular tourist attraction which makes all the popular places often very busy but still enjoyable. (Book Alcatraz before you depart which is what we did. If you turn up and expect to get a ticket you will be disappointed!) For us what was most pleasing was at the end of the day to travel back to Sharons place away from the rush and tear of sight seeing and the City to settle into a cosy, safe and delightful apartment with all that we needed.
This accommodation is excellently equipped with high quality fixtures and fittings. The bedding and furniture are quality and I suspect Ikea or similar! Sharon had provided a replacement coffee machine which was a blessing as was the kettle which us Brits needed for a good brew!
Sharon's communication was always speedy and helpful and contributed to us having the most amazing time in SF. This attractive accommodation is a real jewel and should be considered seriously if your visiting SF. Thank you so much Sharon.
