Sylvie's place is in a fantastic location for SF you can walk down and see the local bars but it's a great spot so some of the major streets to get around SF via buses or ride shares.
If you are an SF former local or want to see some of the more unique areas of SF that aren't down town this is the spot to be. Walk down to the Inner Richmond, Panhandle, Haight, Japan town, or you can grab buses or ubers to those locations. It's a nice central hub that has local bars a couple blocks down to eat and enjoy.
