Getting Around

The San Antonio Caltrain station is a great way to go to San Francisco without the hassle of using a car. Once in the city, you can use Muni buses/light rail or Uber to get around.

A 5 min walk away. They sell groceries and lots of prepared food for take-out our you can dine in. Whole Foods has an amazing selection of beer, wine, cheeses, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Warning, prices can be expensive!

It's open 24/7 (Christmas & New Years). This is the store to go to if you can't find it at the other stores. It's a huge store.

Unfortunately, the Milk Pail closed on June 30, 2019 after 45 years. So sad! The Milk Pail had an amazing selection of fresh fruits & vegetables. In particular, they had a vast cheese selection, fresh breads delivered twice daily. It was a an amazing European style outdoor market. There are local farmers markets you can visit, they are only once a week and you will need to drive there. Ask your host about these alternatives (California Avenue Farmers’ Market, Mountain View Farmers’ Market, & Los Altos Farmers’ Market - May through Sep)

Parks & Nature

Although a small regional park, it has several good hiking trails. It's one of my favorite places to hike and is rarely crowded. The trails can be strenuous but worth it. There are several trail access points.

Regional park that has extensive trails and is very scenic. The downside is its popularity. It can be crazy busy on the weekends where parking can be almost impossible. If you go here, go early or on weekdays.

It's a Boba specialty place but it also has shaved ice. If you haven't tried boba yet, it's an interesting experience. Very popular among millennials.
