San Ramon is an attractive East Bay base for multi-week stays—safe, walkable neighborhoods with plentiful coffee shops and restaurants, a lively Bishop Ranch/City Center area, and easy access to hiking and biking (Iron Horse Trail, nearby Las Trampas) and short-term housing, so you’ll have things to do after shifts.
For bigger-city options, Walnut Creek’s busy downtown and BART links are just minutes away, and San Francisco is within easy reach for museums, nightlife and major dining when you want a change of pace.
