This is right, but sometimes when people say "MUNI" they mean "MUNI Metro", MUNI's light rail system that is below ground from Embracadero to Van Ness, and then above ground elsewhere. They might tell you to take a local bus to MUNI, even though both are part of MUNI.

West Portal, however, may not survive a 12(b)(6) motion.

That is so N-Judah-centric of me (I used to live in the Upper Haight). Indeed, I forgot that only the J and N come up to street level at Church St.

In SF, almost every single apartment listing is captured through craigslist. This isn't the case in a lot of other cities, but here it is almost always true.
That said, there are a few websites that plot all craigslist postings onto a google map, which you can then filter by rent/bedrooms, etc... Padmapper is one example: http://www.padmapper.com/search/apar...San-Francisco/
Padmapper also has an iphone app - so my advice would be to find your neighborhood first, then circle out from there, looking for apartments nearby that fit your budget.
Go to a few open houses (they're listed on craigslist) just to get a sense of what you're renting.
Oh, and apartments tend to rent within a few days(!), so you'll have very short amount of time to make your decision.
Good luck!
