4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Great central location for staying. Lots of public transit options, safe (if you don't go too far west), right off a cable car line which is a fun way to get around.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Union square is crazy packed with tourist for the Powell St. cable car making it difficult to navigate through. It was nice to walk through and hit a few shops, but enjoy the beautiful architecture of the buildings and culture of San Francisco. Main issue is really the large numbers of people of just want to ride a cable car and then shoppers, feels like New York City in a way lol.
