Re: San Fran - Where is it better to stay?
I thought you said "trick question" at first.
The longer you stay in a city - any city - the more you'll get to know it past its surface elements. Sure, I could tell you a handful of museums that you could see in a day, or you could visit one museum per day and not get museum fatigue, all while taking it in at a more natural pace.
How good are the kids in the car? You wouldn't believe the wealth (and diversity) of stuff to do within 2 hours of here.
You could see Sonoma/Napa wine country one day, go down to Santa Cruz the next (and see a bit of silicon valley on the way down), you could go to the state capitol (midtown Sacramento is quite nice these days), or you could drive up the coast toward Mendocino (which may not be as kid-friendly as you might like).
If you're going to stay in the city, for that whole 7 days, I'm not going to try to dissuade you. Each neighborhood is quite unique and you could easily spend a half day in each neighborhood seeing certain sights.
What kind of food do you like?
What kind of attractions do you like?
I'm a 12 minute drive (w/out traffic) from downtown SF so I manage to make it over there as often as I can.

| You'd be surprised but I've done it more times than I can count. Most parts of the day, it's a breeze from 24 down to the maze, and then if that's not blocked, there might be a bit of traffic at the toll plaza - Fastrak is damn handy!
One day I went from my house to being PARKED in downtown SF (getting there is one thing, parking is another) in that same 12 minutes.
