It can be hard to get to or to get from. There is Hwy 1 North to San Francisco, or south to Santa Cruz, or Hwy 92 to San Mateo and the Peninsula. Hwy 92 is one lane each direction, up over big hill, and traffic gets backed up all the time. Weekends in October are nothing but snarled traffic because of the Pumpkin Festival.
A close friend lived there 20 years ago, and it was nice to “go away” to visit, but there were times when it was just too much effort to go there.
