City advice
Getting around
Car is the best way to go or get to ferry and BART
- The House is five-minutes driving distance to Richmond Bridge if you want to go San Rafael, Marin, wine counties, Sausalito, Golden Gate. However, the travel time will significantly increase during rush hours 7-9am and 4-6pm.
- Richmond Ferry – it is a fair new route between Richmond Marina and SF Pier 41. Richmond Ferry Terminal | San Francisco Bay Ferry
- Richmond Bart Station is the closest station at 1700 Nevin Ave, Richmond, CA 94801. You can park your car at BART station (or take Uber) and take BART ride to San Francisco to avoid the hassle of driving and parking in the City.
