The Radar: Great San Fran Museums, Airbnb Adds Concierge Service, Dream Travel Apps

  • These five must-see museums are all within short walking distance of one another in downtown San Francisco. Spend the morning at the Contemporary Jewish Museum then head over to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to browse over 27,000 works on display. At SFMOMA, there’s something for all artistic tastes from paintings and drawings to sculptures, photography, and multimedia works. [SF Travel]
  • The apartment renting site, Airbnb just got an upgrade. Travelers booking rooms, homes, or apartments will now have 24/7 access to a local concierge service. Upon making a reservation, guests will receive a phone number which they can call day or night to get information on everything from the weather to the best place to grab an espresso. [Mashable]
  • Although there seems to be an app for everything these days, here’s a list of dream travel apps that we’re hoping will become a reality real soon. [Uncornered Market]
