Transportation:

Our nearest airport is

Oakland International Airport
1 Airport Drive
Oakland, CA 94621

www.oaklandairport.com

The Oakland Airport website contains information about public transportation, car rentals, shuttles and taxis. 

BART is our public train service.  From the Oakland airport you will need to take the AirBart shuttle to BART and then get off at the Walnut Creek station.  From the Walnut Creek Station you would then need ground transportation to your lodging (About a 15 minute drive to San Damiano).  Go to the Oakland airport website to review Oakland/BART connection information.

A local hotel recommended a more economical shuttle service to and from the airport/share ride option:  East Bay Connection www.eastbayconnection.net

And, for private Town cars you can call BMW Taxi located in Dublin, CA., at 925-200-3000. 

Cost is about $65 one way from the Oakland airport and $120 from San Francisco.
