Garage parking spot for one compact/full size car (large SUVS won't fit). The driveway can fit one small/compact car (car cannot block sidewalk, you can get a ticket if it does). There are 12 stairs to the front entrance and 14 stairs from the garage to the main living space. The Sunset district is away from city center but easy to get to by car or public transportation. A quiet, residential area, the Sunset has main streets lined with restaurants, cafes, and bars. If you love crab, you must go to Thanh Long, the best dungeness crab and garlic noodles in the city. Nearby Taraval Street has great choices, start the day at Parkside Tavern with some delish Eggs Benedict or stuffed French Toast, El Burrito Express (can't come to SF and not have a burrito!), and choices of delicious asian dumpling restaurants. There are great benefits to staying in the Sunset. 1.5 miles west is the Pacific Ocean.

Not only is Golden Gate Park full on walking and biking trails but the home of the California Academy of Sciences, the De Young Museum, Conservatory of Flowers, and the Japanese Tea Gardens. Want to venture out to Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf Hop on the L-Taraval Muni Street Car and enjoy the scenes of the city as it takes you to the heart of Market Street and Union Square. Public transportation is the easiest way to get around the city. Taking the L-Taraval Street car goes through different districts of SF, including the famous Castro district and the eats and shops of the West Portal district. Want to visit Ghirardelli Square and Fisherman's Wharf Make the most of getting there. We recommend you take the L-Taraval street car to Powell Street and Market Street. Jump on the Powell-Hyde Cable Car (did you know that San Francisco's cable car is the only moving landmark in the US) which takes you through Chinatown (the first Chinatown in the US!) and to Ghirardelli Square. This cable car line also takes you to the top of Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, and famous shots of Alcatraz and Coit Tower. The Powell-Mason cable car line also takes you through China Town and straight to the start of Fisherman's Wharf and San Francisco's Italian neighborhood, North Beach. If you'd rather leave your car at the home, Uber, Lyft, and Yellow Cab is also great ways to get around San Fransisco. -

10 Things Not to Miss in San Francisco
http://www.sanfrancisco.travel/article/10-things-not-miss-san-francisco
1. The Golden Gate Bridge, the most famous bridge in the world, manages to impress even the most experienced travelers with its stunning 1.7-mile span. Approximately 120,000 automobiles drive across it every day. A pedestrian walkway also allows the crossing on foot, and bikes are allowed on the western side. The Golden Gate Bridge is said to be one of the most photographed things on Earth.
2. Cable cars have been transporting people around San Francisco since the late 19th century. The cars run on tracks and are moved by an underground cable on three routes. Their familiar bells can be heard ringing from blocks away. Tickets ($5) may be purchased at the cable car turnarounds at the ends of each route. Each one-way ride will provide spectacular views of the city’s celebrated hills as well as exhilarating transportation.
3. Alcatraz, the notorious former prison, is located on an island of the same name in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Some of the United States’ most notorious criminals were incarcerated there. Though several tried, no inmate ever made a successful escape from “The Rock.” The prison was closed in the 1960’s and stories about Alcatraz are legendary. A visit to Alcatraz today is fascinating. Recorded cell-house tours are available, allowing visitors to learn about the prison as they explore the buildings and grounds. To reach the island, take an Alcatraz Cruises ferry from Pier 43. Advance reservations are recommended, 415-981-ROCK (7625).
4. Fisherman’s Wharf is also home to PIER 39, a festive waterfront marketplace that is one of the city’s most popular attractions. A community of California sea lions has taken up residence on the floats to the west of the pier and visitors line the nearby railing to watch their antics. From there it’s a short walk to the Wax Museum, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and the famous crab vendors selling walk-away crab and shrimp cocktails.
5. Union Square is the place for serious shoppers. Major departments stores and the most exclusive designer boutiques line streets like Post, Sutter, Geary, Grant, Stockton and Powell. The Westfield San Francisco Shopping Centre houses the largest Bloomingdale's outside of New York and the second largest Nordstrom in the U.S.
6. North Beach, the city’s Italian quarter, isn’t a beach at all. It’s a neighborhood of romantic European-style sidewalk cafes, restaurants and shops centered near Washington Square along Columbus and Grant avenues. The beautiful Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a beloved landmark. Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill offers a splendid vantage point for photos of the bridges and the Bay. Inside the tower, floor-to-ceiling murals painted in the 1930s depict scenes of early San Francisco.
7. The entrance to Chinatown at Grant Avenue and Bush Street is called the "Dragon's Gate." Inside are 24 blocks of hustle and bustle, most of it taking place along Grant Avenue, the oldest street in San Francisco. This city within a city is best explored on foot; exotic shops, renowned restaurants, food markets, temples and small museums comprise its boundaries. Visitors can buy ancient potions from herb shops, relax and enjoy a "dim sum" lunch or witness the making of fortune cookies.
8. Dining in San Francisco is an attraction in itself. Known as America’s best restaurant city, San Francisco chefs excel at combining the freshest local ingredients, authentic international flavors and a touch of creative genius. Choose your cuisine – Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, Moroccan, Indian, Malaysian, Mexican, Greek, Russian or “fusion,” a combination of any or all of these influences.
9. Nightlife in San Francisco is a constantly changing scene. The “hottest” clubs currently are in the South of Market and Mission districts, with live and recorded rock and Latin music. Jazz, blues, swing and “oldies” music can be found all over town. For a complete list of nightlife options.
10. A visit to San Francisco would not be complete without a cultural experience. The city is home to internationally recognized symphony, opera and ballet companies. Playwrights such as Sam Shepherd and Tom Stoppard introduce their works in San Francisco and avant-garde theatre and dance companies dot the city. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Asian Art Museum, the de Young Museum, the Palace of the Legion of Honor and other museums and galleries are devoted to the finest of classical and contemporary arts. San Francisco is also home to the California Academy of Sciences - the only place on the planet with an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, and a 4-story rainforest all under one roof.
