We stayed at Laura's place for two weeks without a car and relied on public transport which we found efficient. The room comes with Keurig coffee machine and pods and some little snacks. We really enjoyed the San Francisco coffee pods! Laura and Keith were very accomodating and pleasant hosts. They made sure we were well-looked after. We would thoroughly recommend the place. It's a short walk to the bus stops and there you'll find plenty of options to travel to Colma Bart (the closest Bart) and Daly City Bart, including to the big shopping centres around the area. The place being equidistant from San Franciso and the airport has its advantages.
Tips:
1. To get there, you can take the following bus routes from Colma Bart:
Bus 122 (South San Franciso Bart). It stops at the top of the street where the house is.
This is our preferred bus Route and the most convenient if heading straight to the place.
Bus 120 (Brunswick/Templeton). You need to get off at Serramonte Center and walk toward the Mobil Gasoline Station on Gellert Boulevard. The place is about 4 blocks from here. We prefer this one when we feel like shopping or eating again!
Bus 130 (Airport/Linden). This also stops at Serramonte Center but you can get off once it turns onto Gellert Boulevard as well. We prefer this if we’d like to head to other shops or drop by at Starbucks at Gellert Marketplace.
NOTE: Please take note of the route. Most of the buses in both directions stop at the same bus stop. You don’t want to get on the bus heading the opposite way!
2. Buy a clipper if you’ll be there for two weeks. It will save you more if you load it with monthly pass of Muni+BART within San Francisco "A" Pass.
3. Buy CityPass San Francisco. This saves a lot of money when visiting tourist attractions. It also comes with 3 day Cable Car and Muni Bus rides.
