This is a cozy and elegant pied-a-terre in a charming Victorian building of the 1890's. Situated on a quiet block of sunny Noe Valley, the apartment is well-appointed to ensure that your stay is comfortable in every way. Supplies are laid in for your first morning's breakfast but don't let that stop you from exploring the famous food delights of the City.
Enjoy this friendly San Francisco neighborhood by strolling over to 24th Street shops, restaurants, bakeries; perhaps picnic in Dolores Park with views overlooking all of San Francisco. Stop at Mitchell's Ice Cream known for exotic tropical fruit confections and chat up the locals on line. Nightlife in the lively Mission District is sure to pique the interest of the young at heart. We've got lots of ideas how to make the most of your stay in the city that we know and love!
Or use the apartment as a home base to attend San Francisco's glittering Opera and Symphony seasons. Corporate or business visitors are welcomed for short or extended stays. Visiting family here? Have your own retreat to come home to...
Convenient to public transportation, most City attractions are reachable within less than a half hour's ride. For those with vehicles, note that parking in the City can be tricky but generally possible. For those using the freeways, access to 101 and 280 is excellent.

Map & Owner's Profile
Elegant Noe Valley Two Bedroom Pied-a-Terre
Year Purchased: 1987
Why the Owner Chose Noe Valley
For me, food is important - and Noe Valley has outstanding farmer's markets, ethnic grocery stores, and bakeries. Happily Noe Valley has lots of street life and great restaurants.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
A real San Francisco neighborhood - and one of the best. Noe Valley has it's own distinctive character and is handy to most City attractions.
The double-parked cars early in the morning tell the story: excellent coffee and pastries plus the internet in a cozy room.
24/7: Just about everything one might need as far as food, pharmacy, flowers, liquor plus a Wells Fargo ATM
Purple Yam? Baby Coconut? Mexican Chocolate? Some of their distinctive original recipes for premium ice cream - a City landmark for 50 years...
High tea anyone? Scones, little sandwiches, bone china - a cozy bit of England with Lovejoy's Attic Antiques just across the street.
A destination Italian restaurant where the chef even makes his own salumi
Have you tried Sardinian food? Bottarga is grated over the pasta instead of parmesean. Small space but quite popular.
The freshest of salads, outdoor tables, and a weekend brunch are Chloe's hallmarks...
Restaurant named after a signature middle-eastern salad. They have a great version of this as well as other mediterranean specialties.
A casual place - but home-made tasting everything: hummus, pickled turnips, lamb dishes
Pies hand-made daily. Outrageous banana creme pies as well as fruit tarts in season

Just returned from 6 delightful days in San Francisco. The accommodations were excellent, one couldn't ask for more. The apartment was sleek, clean, and comfortable. Good eating right up the street as well as in the main business areas of Noe Valley, easy access to the street car line, quiet and pleasant neighborhood. Staying here made us feel like locals and we'd love to return again someday!
Owner response:Glad you had a good stay with us. We really love keeping our guests happy. Thanks for your comments. Future guests pay close attention to what previous guests say...we'd be pleased to host you or your friends in the future. Ed Eng

i just stayed at the garden apt over this past wkend and the apt was great! ed, the owner, was there to greet me upon check-in and explain everything to me. the location was perfect for us to visit family in the mission district as well as to catch public transportation to anywhere in the beautiful city of san francisco! he even allowed us to park in his personal driveway, which is a very prized possession in san fran, on new years eve night to assist us in our long search for parking! all in all the apt was fully stocked, well taken care of, and beautifully furnished and decorated. thanks again ed!! oh yeah and the new garden is awesome and quite peaceful! great job ed!

This is a fabulous apartment. It is not too big and not too small. It is clean and well maintained. The owner Ed is great about having everything as it should be, but if you need something, he will make sure it is taken care of. A well appointed and nicely decorated place. I can't wait to see the backyard next time I am out there.

My 3 friends and I stayed for 2 nights in the Duncan House and we had a great time !!! The house is ideally located (J line to downtown one block away), very cosy and comfortable, fully equiped with everything you need and Ed, the owner, is very kind and attentive to his tenants. Definitely a place to recommend for a stay in San Francisco, you won't be disappointed !

We stayed at the Garden Apartment at Duncan House and we were very pleased. The owner was extremely helpful, he had everything organized for us at our arrival. Many tips and recommendations that we loved. The apartment was very clean, the rooms very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Public transportation is just a block away, a good thing since we didn't have a car. I would definitely recommend this property. Thank you Ed, we had a great time!

We stayed here over Thanksgiving while visiting our kids who live in Noe Valley. The apartment is lovely. Very nicely furnished and equipped--quality bedding, linens, decor, kitchen items, etc. I smiled every time I walked up the front steps because even the entry is so inviting. It was perfect for us, so much better than a hotel. We ate out almost every meal, but the skim milk and cereal left for us were a true bonus because we didn't have to rush out to breakfast (or we could have a little bedtime snack). Every thing about this property is wonderful. Thank you--we hope to come again! Note: the review entries won't let me change the "nickname" from "wedding guest" so I guess it will look like this property has hosted lots of wedding guests...

We just got home from an amazing stay at Duncan House. My husband and I traveled with our 2 young daughters and this was a fantastic location and space for our family. Ed was a gracious host full of advice on restaurants and secrets for parking. Would def. stay here again. p.s. GREAT breakfast places just blocks from the apt.

The apartment is beautiful and very well furnished with many amenities. We loved Noe Valley which is a great neighborhood. It's very easy to catch the BART line or a bus to go to Downtown SF. I really recommend this apartment for any people who want to stay in SF for a few days. Ed the owner is serious and very nice ! 2 words : PERFECT STAY !

My husband and two daughters spent a long weekend at this wonderful apartment. The sofa sleeper was very comfortable so that the four of us were all comfortable. It was beautifully decorated and had many more ameneties than we had expected or needed. Since there is only one bathroom that could be a problem for some groups. Noe Valley is a great area to stroll, shop and eat. The only drawback was finding a place to park our car at night. But that is San Francisco for you! We look forward to coming back and would certainly highly recommend this apartment .
Owner response:Thanks, We'd be pleased to have you return to Duncan House. ED

Our stay at Duncan House could not have been better - the owner was super friendly and helpful and ensured that our week-long stay was comfortable from beginning to end. Everything you could possibly need was within walking distance of the apartment, from local shops to great cafes and restaurants. Access to city-wide transport was also very convenient. The one bug-bear about the property was the lack of parking for non-residents without local permits (only 2 hours allowed from Mon-Fri during office hours); this meant that we had to plan trips out of town or be available to move the car to another spot if we were hanging around, which was a bit of a pain.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
