We have traveled to 40 countries and have stayed in over 200 hotels.

After reviewing this vrbo ad and comparing hotels' value in San Francisco, this unit is unbelievable. A hotel room in this City of equal amenities costs 2 to 3 times this price, and 1/4 the room size. Union Street is a short walk. Chestnut Street is off the front entry. All the appliances look brand new and clean as can be. Susan, who booked the unit is charming, and willing to assist us with all our needs. The views are fantastic. The unit is quiet and minutes away from classy restaurants, upscale bars and boutique shopping. And the ad is correct, don't waste your money on a rent-a-car. We'll return.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+.
A lovely (and SPACIOUS) place to call a temporary home

My husband and I used to live in San Francisco and we are very aware of what is availble in the housing arena. We were a little dubious going into the rental because it seemed too good to be true- but it was even more than we expected. The views are LOVELY of the Golden Gate Bridge and Palace of Fine Arts. The location is in the middle of everything while still being quiet and residential. About a 10 min walk to the marina and about a 10 minute walk to the embarcadeo, theres no reason to have a car. Even though they have a parking spot. We thought we were going to have to compromise amenities for price but this rental is the best of of both worlds. It's got a washer and dryer AND a/c! Anyone who has lived in San Fran before knows that this is a LUXURY!!! Everything is brand new and could easily accomodate a family with the sleeping porch and spacious living room. Extremely light and bright and new and private, we will be staying here on all our future trips to san fran! (If you're reading this- don't take our dates! ) :D

We just got back from a week in this condo-it was everything stated. Very clean, well maintained and a perfect location. We were so happy to stay at the marina vs. union square. We would highly recommend staying here-a big plus was that we were able to park the car. great value!! We walked everywhere! There was some great information left for us-sue was very helpful with all of our silly questions-bring warm clothes with you-they mean it when they say its always cool there!

I was referred to this flat by a friend in San Francisco. The owner was very accomodating and helpful. What a beautiful clean flat. My tickets to the symphony were in the first row. They were supplied by the owner.

We spent Christmas in San Francisco in this condominium. The art work was spectacular, the view outstanding and the owners very gracious. We were GIFTED 2 35 yard line seats to a San Francisco 49er game. What a beautiful week in that City and the home was like an artistic museum.
