[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m here now with 11 and 14 YOs and having a blast.  my advice is, dont stay in Union Square, which is easier said than done because that’s where most of the big chain hotels are (Hyatt, Marriott, etc).  Union Sq bleeds into the Tenderloin, and the homelessness is a problem all along Market and Mission too.  You wont feel great wandering out for breakfast or walking back after dark. There are smaller expensive boutique hotels elsewhere (Noe Valley, for ex), and plenty of dumpy looking motels along Lombard and near Fishermans’ Wharf.  We paid up for an Air BnB near the Marina and have felt very safe all the time - walked out to most meals in Pac Heights/Cow Hollow/Marina, where there are great restaurants and a real neighborhood feel.

I agree witht this PP.  I live in Marina and all of these areas are wonderful.  I would recommend getting an Airbnb in one of these neighborhoods, including North Beach, Nob Hill, Russian Hill.  These are vibrant neighborhoods that are clean and safe with great food, shops, bars, cafes, etc. You can take beautiful walks and the Presidio and Ft. Mason Parks are close by.  And if you want to get out of the city and into nature - there are beautiful places within an hour to take wonderful hikes with great veiws, and more great food!

You won't need a car in the city (lots of window smashing and theft happening all over now), but you could always rent one for the day to head out and explore.  We like heading up over the GG Bridge into the Muir Woods, Mt. Tam area for lovely hikes.  Then it's fun to wander around Sausalito or Tiburon and have lunch or dinner.
