Transportation:

The Redstone Building and the Victoria Theatre are just one block away from the 16th and Mission Street BART station.  For anyone who is driving, we recommend that you take the MUNI or BART from wherever you are staying. Parking is difficult in this area and usually for 1-2 hours.

If you are flying into SFO, you can also take BART from the airport to the location.

This is San Francisco – we have hotels.  Victoria Ashley researched the following list.  She sends this comment:  “I've stayed myself at two of these, and they were great.”  Please let us know about your accommodations.  All feedback is welcome.
