Be careful with parking!

Always check what zone and time limit you are parked in. I find it helpful to set an alarm on my phone to get back in time. NEVER leave valuables in your car, break-ins are common in San Francisco.

Layers, layers, layers.

San Francisco varies a lot temperature and weather-wise by neighborhood and time of day. Always bring layers.
