Neighbourhood
House is in a hilly neighborhood so while walking around is very pleasant you need a car to get anywhere. Public transport is not really available. However if you drive for 7 minutes you can park and take the ferry into San Francisco.. 15 minutes drive you’re at the Golden Gate Bridge. Downtown San Francisco about 30 mins drive. Less than an hour you’re in wine country I.e., Napa or Sonoma. 10 min drive to Mt Tam with beautiful hiking and scenery. 15 mins drive to,Sausalito.
Getting to my home
San Francisco airport is about 45 mins away in good traffic. Rush hour could be well over an hour. Oakland airport is about 40 mins away. Theres an express bus, $28, that leaves the airport every hour and drops you off about 5 mins drive away. Then it’s a $12 Uber ride. Or it’s an $80 Uber direct from airport.

Getting around
