flying
for those coming from out of town, we recommend flying in to SFO which is a 20-30 minute drive from central SF
there is also an airport in Oakland (OAK) if that offers better flight options, but it's further away and can take a bit to get into the city if you hit bay bridge traffic
driving
uber and lyft are a good way to get around the city and should be sufficient for the weekend, but if you would like to rent a car, we recommend you avoid leaving anything in your car as break-ins are fairly prevalent
note that we will be providing transportation on saturday from the ceremony to the reception
this is the general area where we recommend booking an airbnb or hotel as it offers a nice balance of proximity for the weekend's events!
