We brought our 2.5 year old and 8 month old with us on our trip. We wanted to stay in San Francisco, but not in the noisy/busy downtown area. This location worked out great: 30 min or less drives to the downtown tourist areas, but in a neighborhood that was quiet and parking was usually available. Our 2.5 year old was in one bedroom (we used pillows as bumpers), and our baby was in a pack n play in our room. The pack n play was able to fit in the closet! Such a great sleeping space for the baby :)
There’s lots of decor around the house, which our toddler was very interested in playing with, so we moved the fragile stuff out of her range while we were there. There were a few toys already there which was nice! Our host even brought us a kite when she came and introduced herself one night :) Because the location is an actual neighborhood, there’s lots of parks nearby and we walked to one every afternoon. So many hills! But that’s this city for you.
We really enjoyed our stay, and were able to easily get to the airport when we left.
