This is my favorite coffee shop in the area. Really good artisanal coffee that is more affordable than similar shops, friendly baristas, wifi, great little seating area in back. Right next door to Whole Foods, and across the street from the entrance to Golden Gate Park.

The Mt Sutro trail system is less than a 10 minute walk from the apartment. You will find yourself surrounded by eucalyptus trees, and feel far away from the city noise. There are different trails that interconnect. It is open to cyclists as well, so be aware while you're hiking, and give them the right of way.

Such a special & peaceful treat! "The Conservatory is literally filled to the brim with flowers, foliage and plants from around the world, with a concentration on tropical plants. It’s a place where you will always be greeted with a warm smile, an unforgettable experience, and an opportunity to view a plant or flower that you may not see anywhere else. Come visit the Conservatory today and immerse yourself in our five distinct galleries, each focusing on highlighting a different ecosystem, ranging from a tropical rainforest to the cloud forests perched on top of mountains." http://conservatoryofflowers.org

A short walk (up a pretty big hill), will get you to a spot with a great view! Sometimes there is a swing rigged to one of the trees. Its a great spot to watch the sunset!

A large portion of this park was just renovated. It's a great place to go on a warm day to people watch. There are great views at the top. Stop by Bi-Rite Creamery, grab some ice cream, and hang out! From there you can walk to the Mission neighborhood and explore.

Take the Outbound N Judah train (across Cole St, in front of Burgermeister), all the way to the last stop, and you'll end up at Ocean Beach! Be sure to bundle up - beaches in San Francisco tend to be very cold, though we do have the rare hot day. (Even then, bring layers, as weather changes quickly!)

Sightseeing

There are so many fun shops on Haight St, and it is less than a 10 minute walk away! You will find a lot of vintage clothing stores, and other unique shops. Be prepared to see some interesting people, and 'street kids'. They will typically have signs asking money, but don't feel obligated to give them any. You will also often see people playing music.

You can't miss seeing the famous Golden Gate Bridge! You can rent a bike, bike across to Sausalito & take a ferry back to SF. Or you can walk or drive across. Always wear layers, as it can get chilly on the water! There are some really great views /areas to take photos from in Sausalito.

The Ferry Building has a lot of restaurants and shops, as well as a lovely Farmer's Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's a beautiful building right on the water, with amazing views of the Bay Bridge. Take the inbound N Judah (across the street in front of Padrecito), and take it to the Embarcadero stop (7 stops)
