Sightseeing

Super fun way to get to San Francisco! It's a quick hop to the Ferry Building in SF where you can have lunch or dinner, go to the farmer's market there on Saturday, or stroll along the Embarcadero.

Once home to stables for the carriage horses that traversed Telegraph, the Alley now features a bounty of small businesses ranging from a barber to clothing shops to an apothecary. Around the corner is the very vibrant Telegraph Avenue scene with many great shops and restaurants.
