This is a perfect launching pad to explore so much of what is amazing about San Francisco! While our kids slept in (on super firm mattresses), we walked two blocks from our front door to either Golden Gate Park (south) or Lands End and associated trails (north/east). Once the kids got up we hit Simple Pleasures coffee shop (1/2 block away and a daily pleasure) then planned the day’s excursions. We took day trips to Muir Woods and Santa Cruz and loved having a place in a neighborhood that felt like a neighborhood (even to tourists) that was also accessible to all the far flung things we wanted to see.
