I highly recommend Bill place if you are visiting the city. The room is private, clean, and has everything you might need during your visit. Bills family is very thoughtful, friendly, and responsive - they made us feel as if we were staying at home. Public transportation seemed to be relatively close, though we had rented a car so didn’t end up taking it. If you decide to rent a car, there is plenty of parking available. Finally, Bills home is about a 3 minute drive to the departure terminal at SFO, so extremely convenient if proximity to airport is a significant consideration for you. I will look for Bills place again if I am traveling to the Bay Area.
