Sheila is a fantastic host, very helpful, clear and available without being overbearing. The in-law apartment is private, separate, and self-contained. Homely and warm, with some lovely touches like fresh milk and the fridge and basics in the cupboards. It's a bit of a walk to the park, but we enjoyed it rather than taking the bus - plenty of lovely houses along the way as well as the splendid 16th street steps, if you fancy climbing up for a great view of the city. West Portal is a friendly, twinkly neighbourhood - a bit outside of all the action, but great transport links, and a nice place to retreat to. We know the city well, and we'd come back here.
