Robert's place is located very close to many restaurants, markets and Golden Gate Park. The unit is also close to Mountain Lake in the Presidio. All very walk-able. We just parked our car and left it for all five days. Our son got us a permit to park, but there are restrictions on street parking that you need to be aware of. It is a small unit but had everything that we needed. We slept better than at many hotels that we have been to.
