Carrie's place is a great base to tour SF by foot and transit. It is on Russian Hill which provides the apartment's gorgeous view of the SF bay. Two cable car lines go up the hill a few blocks in each direction and provide easy connection to Union Square, China Town, and the Embarcadero. From Union Square, you can hop on BART, buss or light rail to anywhere in the Bay Area. Lots of food, bars and grocery a handful of blocks away. Paid parking nearby. Carrie was a great host.
