When I visited San Francisco a couple of years ago I stayed at a colourful victorian guest house, moments from the bars and shops of Castro and Market streets. With five tastefully themed rooms it had a friendly, laid back atmosphere and was a great starting point for exploring the city.

It is a rental apartment in San Francisco which easily rivals the best 5* hotel or B & B in town. Our host Ed was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, he arranged restaurant reservations, sightseeing tickets etc. This apartment has two bedrooms and is within an easy stroll downhill to the transit stop to get into downtown.

Take a trip around the bay in a small boat. Walk along the seafront toawards the Golden Gate Bridge from Fishermans Wharf. Along the harbour there are many smaller ex-fishing boats. These are much better than the larger ferry-like boats available. Not only are they cheaper, the trip is longer and much more personal. You even get to go under the Golden Gate Bridge, which you don't in the larger ships.

Walk along Fishermans Wharf towards the Golden Gate Bridge.

If you can afford it then I recommend taking a helicopter ride over the bay. Amazing views. Also, hire a car and travel around the bay area and south to Carmel and the beaches there. Lovely!
