It's a bit of a trek from the airbnb. But it's worth the 30 minute walk or the quick cab ride. Bar Kismet is the best seafood in the city. It's fresh and beautiful and not super touristed.

Hop on the Dartmouth ferry for $2.50 and go to the Canteen. A great little restaurant that actually takes reservations (they are hard to come by sometimes in this city!). And the ferry ride can be very pretty on a nice evening.

My favorite restaurant in the whole city. The service is fantastic, the menu is always changing with fresh ingredients. Brunch can get a little busy but dinner is usually pretty doable for a table of 2.

Spring garden is a main hub for the busses. You can take one for almost everywhere in the city. I would recommend using google transit to find correct routes.
